About me

I am an associate professor (maître de conférences) at the Institut Élie Cartan de Lorraine, in the équipe Probabilités et Statistique. I teach Mathematics students at UFR MIM.

More details

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Laboratoire de Mathématiques d’Orsay and member of the ERC "SuPerGRandMa" of Nicolas Curien. Before that, I was a research and teaching assistant at Laboratoire d’analyse et de mathématiques appliquées (université Paris-Est Créteil) working with Arnaud Le Ny.
I defended my PhD thesis at université Paris-Saclay in 2020. See /CV for more.

My research interests lie in probability, mainly in random geometry, statistical mechanics and random combinatorial optimization problems.

Keywords: ideal Poisson-Voronoi tessellations, massive spanning forests, Gibbs measures/specifications, (Euclidean) random assignment problems and extensions. See publications for more and gallery for an introduction by visuals.

Job opportunities

‣ 4 to 6 months M2 research internship on Euclidean random assignment problems and applications (pursuit in a PhD thesis possible). Details: , deadline: January 31st 2026.

‣ 4 to 6 months M2 research internship on combinatorics of spanning trees and forests. Details: , deadline: January 31st 2026.
