I am currently an associate professor (maître de conférences) at the Institut Élie Cartan de Lorraine, in the équipe Probabilités et Statistique. My research interests lie in probability, mainly in random geometry, statistical mechanics and random combinatorial optimization problems. I teach Mathematics students at UFR Mathématiques Informatique Mécanique. Here's a short CV.

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.

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.
