Eloi TANGUY

PhD student under the supervision of Julie Delon and Agnès Desolneux.

I study Optimal Transport, in particular Generalised Wasserstein Barycentres, the Sliced Wasserstein Distance and GMM-restricted OT.

After my studies at Ecole Polytechnique (cycle ingénieur), I took the Masters in Mathematics, Vision and Learning (“MVA” in French), where I took Gabriel Peyré’s “Optimal Transport” course (an important reason was that I lived nearly). Enthralled, I took a project on A Wasserstein distance between GMMs. This led me to an internship with Julie Delon and Rémi Flamary on Generalised Wasserstein Barycentres. This internship finished in September 2022, and I am now continuing this work and branching back to GMM-OT and Sliced Wasserstein during my PhD. I am also interested in barycentres of measures, variants of Sliced Wasserstein, and Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces.

Pour ma soutenance de thèse, j’ai préparé une introduction vulgarisée au Transport Optimal en Français, qui se veut accessible au plus grand public.
