What I work on: how a system arrives at an answer — and how faithful that process is to the evidence behind it. I study it across human gaze (scanpaths), model reasoning traces, and retrieval-grounded systems, and I build the measurement harness that checks the answer rather than trusting it.
I'm an AI/ML researcher in Paris — AI Researcher at F.initiatives and AIOps Architect at NeoPhi.
