I joined INRIA april 2021 after 2 years at LIP6 CNRS. I started research on quantum information in 2000 at Los Alamos National Lab with W.H. Zurek working on decoherence — introducing quantum discord and the first characterizations of quantum darwinism. I joined Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics as a Postdoctoral fellow, working mainly on quantum error correction and quantum algorithms.

I paused research in 2007 switching to corporate finance at the Ministry of Finance, then rapidly joining a private equity fund and finally launching a successful M&A boutique that soon reached more than 25 professionals and 5 offices across France. At the end of 2017, I founded an AI-based startup for reconstructing hidden professional network in the corporate finance space.

I currently head the QAT team and the QuantumTech@INRIA program.
