Vita

I graduated in Computer Science from École Polytechnique (Paris) in 2001. I then attended ENST Bretagne where I got a MSc in Mathematics and Cognitive Sciences (Cognitive Sciences Lab). I got a PhD in 2007 from McGill where I had the chance to work under the supervision of Luc Devroye. Between september 2007 and 2012, I have been a member of the Algorithms group and then the RAP team at Inria in Paris.

After ten years at Inria, I moved in September 2017 to Université Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris 6, which merged with La Sorbonne to become Sorbonne Université in January 2018. I am now affiliated with the LPSM.

Research Interests

I started by some applications to networks and gene multiplications and I now make my way towards more theoretical problems. Now looking towards probability applied to discrete structures and combinatorial geometry. Some precise current topics of research include mostly tree like structures:

  • analysis of algorithms and data structures
  • computational geometry
  • probability and branching processes
  • fragmentation and coagulation processes
  • random graphs
  • geometric networks
  • statistical physics

More about what I have done.
