Myriam TAMI

Associate Professor (Habilitation to Supervise Research – HDR, France) in Artificial intelligence (Machine Learning and Statistics)

Currently, I am an associate professor Maître de Conférence (MCF) HDR at the Mathematics Interacting with computer Science (MICS) laboratory of the University Paris-Saclay and "Grande Ecole" of engineers CentraleSupélec. Thus, I have both research and teaching responsibilities. Regarding research, I am either a leader or member of many publicly funded research projects, such as my recent CLearDeep ANR JCJC, or in collaboration with industrials. Regarding teaching, I am co-responsible for the MSc in AI at CentraleSupélec and in charge of many teaching units in the machine learning field. Before, I was a Machine Learning postdoctoral researcher at LIG lab, University of Grenoble Alpes, collaborating with TotalEnergies. I received a Ph.D. in Bio-statistics from the Univ. of Montpellier in 2016.

My research focuses on reliable and trustworthy statistical learning, at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and causality. I develop methods that combine predictive performance, interpretability, and robustness in the presence of real-world constraints such as heterogeneous, imperfect, and weakly labeled data. My work spans from interpretable, knowledge-driven models to deep learning approaches, and more recently toward gray-box AI, which aims to reconcile black-box learning with causal transparency. A central theme of my current research is the fusion of deep learning and causality, including causal representation learning, counterfactual robustness, and causal discovery, with the goal of designing intrinsically interpretable models that support informed and reliable decision-making.

I'm looking for MSc, Ph.D. students and postdocoral candidates to work on research at the intersection of causality and ML. Some postdoc, Ph.D thesis and intern offers are bellow or coming soon. Come to join the dynamic researchers at the comfortable MICS lab workspace and more globally at University Paris Saclay. Women and students from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply (my lab is committed to being inclusive spaces).
