I am a mathematician and computer scientist, working at IRIF and the UFR informatique at Université Paris Cité, where I am a tenured associate professor (maître de conférences).
In practice, this means that I think, read, write, teach, attend talks, give talks, code, organize, and collaborate with others on all of these things. I also sometimes write and perform music.
In 2023-2024, I am on a sabbatical to concentrate full-time on research for one year.
Supervision of individual projects. I am always happy to discuss individual projects with prospective students; you can send me an e-mail.
