About Me

About me

I am a Chargé de Recherche (CNRS researcher) at the University of Montpellier. I'm mostly interested in operads, graph complexes, homological algebra and the way they interact with Physics and Algebraic topology.

I completed my PhD under the supervision of Thomas Willwacher and was an SNF Postdoc at the University Paris 13 hosted by Bruno Vallette.

I am an editor of Emergent Scientist , a journal that provides students with a chance to discover peer-review publishing.

Event

Together with Damien Calaque and Clément Dupont we are organising an event on Kontsevich formality and Multi-Zeta Values.

Where can you find me?

If you're in Montpellier you can usually find me in my office at the Institut Montpelliérain Alexander Grothendieck (219, Batiment 9), but feel free to write me an e-mail. How to get to get here?

Research

I'm generally interested in algebraic approaches to Geometrical and Algebraic Topology problems, particularly in Homotopy theory using tools such as operads and graph complexes.
Other important keywords related to my research are Mathematical Physics, Moduli Spaces, Deformation theory, Koszul duality, Quantization and Poisson Geometry.
