Postdoc at University of Notre Dame, supervised by Erin Chambers. I design and analyse algorithms for geometric and topological problems. I defended my thesis on September 26, 2025; You may have a look at the manuscript, and the slides.

I used to be a phd student at Université Gustave Eiffel, supervised by Éric Colin de Verdière and Vincent Despré. Before that, I studied at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon.
