A few words about me
Greetings! I am Lilian Besson, a student in Mathematics and Computer Science at ENS de Cachan :gray:`(a French "Grande École" specialized in training researchers and professors for superior studies, located in Cachan, near Paris)`.
This year (2015-16):
- I am currently a research intern in the BIG/LIB team at EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland), from April to August 2016, under the supervision of Julien Fageot and Michael Unser. Check out the git repository for my internship (my Master thesis is almost done) !
- I am finishing the MVA master program (at ENS de Cachan), in applied Maths, mainly in machine learning and numerical optimization. Cf. my documents written for the MVA, and 6 projects: PCS, PGM, RL / GML, Kernel, Brain Imaging, Neuro-Sciences.
- I was also teaching in Maths. and in Computer Science in a prep' school for national competitive exams for French Engineering Schools ("Grandes Écoles"), at "Lycée Lakanal" in Sceaux (near Paris).

Studies and past jobs
- From mid-July 2014 to mid-May 2015, I lived and worked in India, on the campus of the new Mahindra École Centrale (a new Engineering College born from a partnership between the (Indian) Mahindra group and (French) École Centrale de Paris). I was the first French faculty to work there full-time, and I have been involved as a teaching assistant, in charge of mathematics (MA101 and MA102) tutorials, and in charge of the Computer Science CS101 course for the second semester!
- In 2013/2014, I prepared and obtained the (French) agregation of Mathematics exam (national competitive exam for "Prep Schools" teacher recruitment, with a major in Maths and a minor in Computer Science). I have been ranked 23rd, for 275 available positions, for 795 candidates allowed to pass the oral exam (second step) in June and July 2014, and almost 1200 persons registered in October 2013. I also did the second year of my Master of Science in Fondamental Mathematics (major) and Computer Science (minor), with a speciality on teaching. A list of useful references (and other ressources) for this exam is here.
- In 2012/2013, I did the first year of the MPRI (Master of Science specialized in theoretical research in Computer Science, in Paris) and also the first year of the Master of Science in fondamental mathematics of ÉNS Cachan (again both magna cum laude).
- From 2011/2012, I studied at ÉNS Cachan, and in July 2012, I completed two Bachelors of Science, one in Mathematics and one in Computer Science, both magna cum laude.
- During two years, 2009/2010 and 2010/2011, I studied in Marseille, at Lycée Thiers, first in MPSI 2 and after in MP*1.
