معرفی
Adrien Taylor is a Researcher at Inria within the SIERRA research team, having previously held a postdoctoral position at Inria (2017-2019) and completed his PhD at Université catholique de Louvain in Mathematical Engineering under François Glineur and Julien Hendrickx.
His educational background:
- PhD in Mathematical Engineering from Université catholique de Louvain (ICTEAM institute), supervised by François Glineur and Julien Hendrickx with F.R.S.-FNRS FRIA scholarship support.
Taylor's research focuses on optimization (especially first-order methods), numerical analysis, control theory, and machine learning, driven by a commitment to reproducible and theoretically rigorous science. His work emphasizes computer-assisted worst-case analyses and accelerated optimization techniques, aiming to bridge theoretical guarantees with practical applicability in machine learning and scientific computing.
His most significant recognition is the ERC Starting Grant 2024 awarded for the CASPER project, which will fund his research from fall 2024 to fall 2029.
Taylor actively supervises PhD students across multiple institutions: current advisees include Roland Andrews (ENS Paris), Daniel Berg Thomsen (ENS Paris), Si Yi Meng (Cornell), and Weijia Wang (Sorbonne Université); former PhD students include Antoine Bambade (ENS Paris), Baptiste Goujaud (Ecole Polytechnique), and Céline Moucer (ENS Paris). He has also collaborated with PhD visitors from MIT, UCLouvain, and Lund University.
As a core member of the SIERRA team at Inria Paris, he collaborates closely with Francis Bach, Justin Carpentier, Aymeric Dieuleveut, and other researchers on optimization theory and applications.
