CV express

I have been an Associate Professor in the Combinatorics group of Paris North University since September 2010.

I began my studies at the University of Bucharest (1997-2000) and then attended École Normale Supérieure Lyon (2000-2002). My PhD (2002-2005), in co-direction at the University of Haute Alsace and the University of Strasbourg, examined the rôle played by algebraic structures (Lie algebras and some graduated generalizations) in quantum mechanics (the Weyl algebra) and in field theory. After spending one more year at the University of Haute Alsace, I was granted a CNRS post-doc (2007-2008) at Orsay, in Vincent Rivasseau's fantastic group. During my time there, I began working intensively on different topics related to renormalizability in commutative and non-commutative quantum field theories. The following year (2007-2008) I took on a position as a CNRS-associated researcher in Orsay and then continued as a visiting scientist at the Max Planck Institute Bonn and at IHES. Between 2008 and 2010, I was a post-doc at École Polytechnique.

Research interests

I am currently working on combinatorial physics, or more precisesly, on the investigation of the rôle played by different combinatorial structures (topological graph polynomials, combinatorial Hopf algebras, matroids etc.) in various quantum field theoretical models (including random tensor models, generalization of random matrix models).

Publications

All of my articles are available on arXiv.

Grants

In the spring of 2011, I won (as a Principal Investigator) a French CNRS PEPS grant. I am joined on my research team by: G. H. E. Duchamp (Univ. Paris XIII), T. Krajewski (Univ. Marseille), N. Hoang (Univ. Paris XIII), V. Rivasseau (Univ. Paris XI), M. Valencia-Pabon (Univ. Paris XIII) and F. Vignes-Tourneret (CNRS Lyon).

In 2008, I won three Short Visit Grants from the European Science Foundation Research Networking Programme "Quantum Geometry and Quantum Gravity". I used these grants to travel from the Max Plack Institute in Bonn (Germany) to Ecole Polytechnique and Orsay in Paris for my research projects.

Organization of seminars, conferences and workshops

I will be organizing a workshop on November 22, 2011 at the Institut Henri Poincaré- "Renormalizability in quantum gravity models - combinatorial, analytical and geometrical aspects". The workshop will be part of the GDR "Renormalisation : aspects algébriques, analytiques et géométriques"

I will also be organizing, in March of 2012, in collaboration with G. Duchamp, C. Krattenthaler, V. Strehl, JY Thibon, and C. Tollu, the 68th edition of the Séminaire Lotharingien de Combinatoire. The seminar will be held over the course of 2.5 days; a special afternoon on combinatorial physics being organized by G. Duchamp, C. Tollu and myself. The conference will take place at Domaine Saint Jacques (France). The invited speakers will be: Abdelmalek Abdesselam (University of Virginia, USA) and Gilles Schaeffer (CNRS at Ecole Polytechnique, France).

Between 2008 and 2010, I organized the recurring mathematical physics seminar of Ecole Polytechnique. In 2008, I was co-organizer (at Ecole Polytechnique) of the joint mathematical physics seminar of Ecole Polytechnique and Orsay.

Masters internships and PhD advising

I was (spring 2011), with G. Duchamp, the Masters 2 internship advisor of Nguyen Hoang. Beginning in the fall of 2011, Nguyen Hoang started a PhD, under the supervision of G. Duchamp and myself.

Fall 2011 I was the scientifical tutor of the visit of Olivier Pfante (PhD student of Raimar Wulkenhaar, in Munster, Germany, EU), within the Noncommutative Geometry European network.
