.. meta:: :description lang=en: Lilian Besson's personal web page :description lang=fr: Page personnelle de Lilian Besson sur le web ########## Welcome! ########## A few words about me -------------------- Greetings! I am **Lilian Besson**, a former `student `_ in Mathematics and Computer Science at `ENS de Cachan `_ :gray:`(a French "Grande École" specialized in training researchers and professors for superior studies, located in Cachan, near Paris; now the school is called ENS de Paris-Saclay)`. This year (*2016-17*) : - I started `my PhD `_ at CentraleSupélec (`SCEE team `_, `IETR lab `_) in Rennes (France), with `Christophe Moy `_ and `Emilie Kaufmann `_ (`SequeL team, CRIStAL labo, at Lille `_). My PhD will be on multi-players multi-arms bandits models applied to radio-telecommunication, especially I-o-T problems. - And I am `teaching `_ theoretical computer science at `ENS Rennes `_ (for a class preparing for the agregation national exam, level M2) and `ENSAI `_ (complexity and calculabilty, level L3), thanks to `this mission `_. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ `Contact information `_ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Feel free to *contact* me by, `the solution you prefer `_: .. image:: .courriel.png :scale: 120 % :align: right :target: mailto:Lilian.Besson@ens-cachan.fr #. by *email* at this adress `Lilian.Besson@ens-cachan.fr `_, or `besson at crans.org `_: .. image:: .telephone.png :scale: 130 % :align: right :target: callto:100101011101001100111101100001_2 #. you can call me or send me a SMS: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Last year (*2015-16*) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * I was a `research intern `_ in the `BIG/LIB team `_ at `EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) `_, from April to August 2016, under the supervision of `Julien Fageot `_ and `Michael Unser `_. Check out the `git repository for my internship `_ (`my Master thesis `_ is finished) ! * I obtained the `MVA master program `_ (at `ENS de Cachan`_), in applied Maths, mainly in `machine learning `_ and `numerical optimization `_. Cf. `my documents written for the MVA <./publis/mva-2016/>`_, and `6 projects `_: `PCS `_, `PGM `_, `RL / GML `_, `Kernel `_, `Brain Imaging `_, `Neuro-Sciences `_. I ranked *first* for the MVA master in 2015-16, with 13 courses valided and the final grade of **18.43 / 20** (`"summa cum laude" `_). * I was also `teaching in Maths. `_ and `in Computer Science `_ in a prep' school for national competitive exams for French Engineering Schools (*"Grandes Écoles"*), at `"Lycée Lakanal" `_ in Sceaux (near Paris). Studies and past jobs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * From mid-July 2014 to mid-May 2015, I **lived and worked in India**, `on the campus `_ of the new `Mahindra École Centrale `_ (a new *Engineering College* born from a partnership between the `(Indian) Mahindra group `_ and `(French) École Centrale de Paris `_). I was the first French faculty to work there full-time, and `I have been involved as a teaching assistant `_, in charge of mathematics (`MA101 <./ma101/>`_ and `MA102 <./ma102/>`_) `tutorials `_, and in charge of the `Computer Science CS101 course <./cs101/>`_ for the second semester! * In 2013/2014, I `prepared and obtained `_ the (French) `agregation of Mathematics `_ exam (national competitive exam for "*Prep Schools*" teacher recruitment, with a major in Maths and a minor in Computer Science). `I have been ranked 23rd `_, for 275 available positions, for 795 candidates allowed to pass the oral exam (second step) in June and July 2014, and almost 1200 persons registered in October 2013. I also did the second year of my **Master of Science** in Fondamental **Mathematics** (major) and **Computer Science** (minor), with a `speciality on teaching `_. `A list of useful references (and other ressources) for this exam is here `_. * In 2012/2013, I did the first year of the **MPRI** (`Master of Science `_ specialized in theoretical research in Computer Science, in Paris) and also the first year of the `Master of Science`_ in fondamental mathematics of ÉNS Cachan (again both `magna cum laude`_). * From 2011/2012, I studied at `ÉNS Cachan `_, and in July 2012, I completed two `Bachelors of Science `_, one in **Mathematics** and one in **Computer Science**, both `magna cum laude `_. * During two years, 2009/2010 and 2010/2011, I studied in Marseille, at `Lycée Thiers `_, first in MPSI 2 and after in MP\*1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Some projects on-line ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Some of my profile pages on some great websites: #. either with my *Bitbucket* account `Bitbucket.org/lbesson `_; #. or my *Github* account `GitHub.com/Naereen `_; #. or on my personal *Wikipedia* page `User:Naereen `_. .. sidebar:: Other language: in French :red:`Cette page est en anglais.
