Charles Vielzeuf — Operations research & ML

I am currently a Master II student in operations research at Institut polytechnique de Paris ([MPRO]), as part of my last year at [École des Ponts], in the mathematical engineering and computer science department. More details here.

As part of this master, I am on a 5‑month traineeship at [RIKEN Advanced Intelligence Project] in the [Statistical Genetics Team], working on various transformer-like architectures and reinforcement learning.

Previously I worked at [Hexaly] as an operations research intern in the R&D team (algorithm design, software development, continuous integration). I also was a trainee student in the [Deep Learning Theory Team] (UTokyo), supervised by [Prof. Taiji Suzuki]. More details here.

🔬 Research/working interests

I focus on algorithm design with guarantees and industrial problem-solving.

Operations research — combinatorial, stochastic and robust optimization; complexity theory, metaheuristics, parallel computing.

Machine learning — deep and reinforcement learning, and optimization-aware learning.

More on these topics on my project page.
