Engineering student at ENAC, Toulouse, France. Specialized in Air Operations & Safety with a double Master degree in Operational Research.
Interested in different fields of Optimization, I joined the Alliance team in April 2022 at the GERAD laboratory under the supervision of Sébastien Le Digabel, Charles Audet and Christophes Tribes.

MADS is a derivative-free optimization algorithm that includes an exploration of the design space. It succeeds to direct-search algorithms such as Coordinate Search and Generalized Pattern Search, allowing for an infinite set of directions, and dealing with general inequality constraints. 1) MADS can use components to break free from local minimisers during the Search step and accelerate convergence to a better minimizer.
My project is to implement new search strategies in MADS based on:
