Postdoc

I was a postdoc at LORIA, in Nancy, from February 1st 2022 to September 30th 2023, under the supervision of Mathilde Bouvel, Valentin Féray and Xavier Goaoc. I have worked on the combinatorics of order types in discrete geometry.

Thesis

I completed my thesis at LIGM, at the Gustave Eiffel University (former Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée University), under the supervision of Arnaud Carayol and Cyril Nicaud.
My thesis is entitled Systems of holonomic functions : application to automata theory.

I defended my thesis on Thursday, December 9, 2021 at 2pm.
Thesis manuscript (written in french)

My thesis was awarded the 2022 thesis prize of Université Paris-Est, and an accessit for the 2022 Gilles Kahn thesis prize.
