experiences
research, development, positions of responsibility, impact, ...
Below are my “formal” work experiences. I also contribute to several open-source scientific software, and I consider that as an “experience” too (see /opensource). I have also mentored several students and researchers who are new at writing code for research/scientific software (see /service).

Dr. Jim Pivarski (Princeton University)
January 2024 - Present | Meyrin, Switzerland
- Enabling automatic differentiation for the Scikit-HEP ecosystem using JAX.
- Polishing the IRIS-HEP data analysis pipeline (coffea, vector, boost-histogram, awkward, and others) for the future LHC/HL-LHC runs.
Visiting Student Researcher (Mitacs Globalink Research Intern)
McMaster University
Prof. Jacques Carette
June 2023 - August 2023 | Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
- Formalised Mathematics and Computing in Agda’s (a dependently typed functional programming language and an interactive theorem prover) standard library using Type Theory, Proof Theory, Functional Programming, and Computational Logic.
- Refactored the standard library’s codebase for v2.0, simplified the dependency graph, fixed various bugs, and added new functions and mathematical proofs.
