Loïc has a background in Particle Physics, which is how he discovered
Python towards the end of his PhD. After a few year stint in an
investment fund of writing mostly C++ and as much Python as possible,
he was lured back to an academic environment. He is now scikit-learn
and joblib developer in the Parietal team at Inria. He has been
involved in a few different Python open-source projects in the past
few years, amongst which sphinx-gallery and nilearn.
