About

I am a PhD student in mathematics at the University of Rouen Normandie. My research interests are in optimal transport and optimal control.

Research

I am interested in optimal control problems in the space of probability measures. I am currently working on necessary and sufficient conditions for optimal control problems driven by a non-local continuity equation. In particular, in the non-smooth analysis and geometry of the Wasserstein space. I am also interested in applications of optimal control to deep neural networks and machine learning.

Interests

  • Optimal transport
  • Optimal control
  • Partial differential equations
