Hi ! I'm Dylan.

I studied robots and their brains at EPFL in Switzerland,
and defended my Masters' Thesis at Stanford.
I am currently building something new!

Research

These publications span several concurrent domains, from the application of Machine Learning in High Energy Physics (HEP) to the development of novel characterizations of media bias. This work is the product of diverse research interests and a variety of research opportunities that I have been lucky enough to pursue. The overarching goal is to provide interpretable methods, useful in their application but that also provide a broader understanding of the problem at hand.
