About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Université Laval and MILA – Québec AI Institute in Montréal (Canada), advised by Audrey Durand. My research lies at the intersection of interactive learning and statistical learning, with emphasis on theoretical foundations and practical applications. I am particularly interested in building efficient, robust and generalizable ML systems. I interned at the Thales (CortAIx lab), Noah's Ark lab, and Amazon in Seattle. I hold a M.Sc. from the National School of Statistics and Data Analysis (ENSAI) in France. Contact: maxime[.]heuillet1[at]ulaval.ca
