Welcome to my website!

I’m Adrian Valente, currently Research Engineer at Instadeep in Paris, developing LLMs for genomic data. Previously, I was a PhD student in computational neuroscience, working under the direction of Srdjan Ostojic at ENS Paris, where I worked on explaining the dynamics of recurrent neural networks using low-rank approximations, and on applications to electrophysiological (notably prefrontal cortex) data. You can find my thesis here, as well as the list of publications here. I also worked at Centre Léon Bérard in Lyon with Stéphane Depil on models of epitope presentation for cancer immunotherapies, and at Microsoft in software engineering.

Here, I like to talk about neural networks (artificial and biological), and ML and software engineering for science.
