Quentin BERTRAND - Home

I am a 3rd year PhD student in machine learning at Inria Paris-Saclay (in the Parietal Team), under the supervision of Joseph Salmon and Alexandre Gramfort. I work on the optimization and statistical aspects of high dimensional sparse linear regression applied to brain signals reconstruction. I have a keen interest in coordinate descent algorithms, hyperparameter selection, and in the Python programming language. I also develop a python package for fast automatic hyperparameter selection of sparse linear models. Here is a short resume and my list of publications.
