  • Boosted classification and regression scores implementing self-supervised techniques in tabular data.

Research Intern

Apr 2023 - Sep 2023

French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA)

  • Reduced model size by 50% while maintaining accuracy by implementing a novel quantization scheme for Visual Transformers (ViT).
  • Reduced computational complexity, making Visual Transformers more embeddable on resource-constrained devices.
  • Presented results on attention-based network compression at the 2024 HiPEAC workshop.

Research Intern

Jun 2022 - Sep 2022

Universite Paris-Cite

  • Developed a novel graph-based method for embedding time series, improving anomaly detection accuracy by 22% on medical datasets.
  • Identified anomalous behavior in multivariate medical time series by creating a latent space representation and constructing a graph to isolate outliers.
  • Leveraged autoencoders and graph theory to design a novel anomaly detection method, reducing model training time.

Research Intern

Apr 2020 - Dec 2020

Petrobras / University of Sao Paulo

  • Improved mooring line failure detection accuracy by 18% by developing a machine learning pipeline using signal oscillation frequencies.
  • Reduced detection time through signal processing techniques like Wavelets and STFT.
  • Presented research at OMAE 2021 international conference.
