Research

Since 2024, I am a permanent member of the LIFO's GAMoC research team.

I am interested in many problems of graph theory. My research is mostly about enumeration algorithms for structures in graphs, in particular maximal induced subgraphs, minimal completions and deletions. I also work on location problems on graphs, digraphs and oriented graphs.

I prepared my thesis at LIMOS (Clermont-Ferrand, France) between September 2019 and September 2023 under the supervision of Vincent Limouzy, Aurélie Lagoutte and Lucas Pastor.
[Read the manuscript] (mostly in English).

After that, I was a post-doctoral researcher in the COATI team of Inria, Université Côte d'Azur. I worked for the ANR project DIGRAPHS with Frédéric Havet.


Talks in seminars, conferences and workshops

I was also there : EJCIM 2019, CoRe 2019, EJCIM 2020, JGA 2020, WEPA 2020 (OC), JGA 2021, Workshop on enumeration and databases (Lyon, 2023), EPIT 2023, STRUG (Warsaw, 2023), JCALM 2023, JNIM 2024, JGA 2024.

Teaching

During my PhD, I had the opportunity to teach several subjects to under-graduate university students. For example, I taught graph theory, databases with SQL, C and Python programming, or binary representations.

I now teach at the Faculty of Law, Economics and Management of the University of Orléans.


Scientific mediation

In 2023-2024, I took part to Terra Numerica (Sophia-Antipolis).
We welcomed the general audience for visits and games around digital sciences. I also gave talks for secondary school pupils.

In 2021-2022, I was a volunteer at Maison des Mathématiques et de l'Informatique (Lyon)
I animated workshops for secondary school pupils on the theme of Artificial Intelligence.

I also gave some "non-specialist" talks (in French) in several occasions, such as the Séminaire de la Détente Mathématique ("chill maths seminar") held in Lyon since 2014, or the Girls' Math Days.
