Kimang KHUN, Ph.D. in mathematics and computer science
I am interested in optimization, control of stochastic dynamic system (Reinforcement Learning, Markov Decision Process…), computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning.
Currently, I am the Chief Technology Officer of AI Farm Robotics Company.
My Ph.D. was supervised by Nicolas Gast and Bruno Gaujal at University of Grenoble Alpes of France.
The manuscript of my Ph.D. can be found here
