Research Scientist
French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation – Inria (France)
Adrien Taylor is currently a research scientist at Inria Paris, within the SIERRA team. Before that, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the same team in 2017-2019, working with Francis Bach. He completed a PhD at Université catholique de Louvain, in the department of mathematical engineering (part of the ICTEAM institute), where he held a F.R.S.-FNRS FRIA scholarship for his PhD under the supervision of François Glineur and Julien Hendrickx.
His research currently focuses on optimization (mostly first-order) and numerical analysis with a bit of control and machine learning. He finds it particularly important to push toward reproducible (including theory) and understandable science, and many of his research projects have this orientation. Adrien Taylor was awarded an ERC Starting Grant 2024 (project CASPER) for working in this direction from fall 2024 to fall 2029.
