I hold an electrical engineering degree from the ESIEA institute ('05, France), a MSc research oriented in data mining from the Lyon II university ('05, France), and a PhD from the University of Leiden ('09, the Netherlands). I received all three degrees with the jury honors.

In the course of '09, I visited as postdoctoral fellow the Soft Computing research group (UPC, Barcelona, Spain), the CIFASIS-CONICET (UNR, Rosario, Argentina) and the LIACS (Leiden University, the Netherlands).

In '10, I joined the research group of Prof. R. Ophoff as postdoctoral fellow at the University of California Los Angeles (USA).
