Research Interests

My research explores the intersection of machine learning and geometry. On one hand, I apply machine learning techniques to compute numerical approximations on manifolds such as Ricci-flat metrics on Calabi–Yau manifolds. On the other hand, I study the geometric properties of neural networks to better understand their efficiency.
