About Me

About me

I am a Chargé de Recherche (CNRS researcher) at the University of Montpellier (IMAG), moving to the University of Toulouse (IMT) in September. I'm mostly interested in operads, graph complexes, homotopical 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.

Responsible for...

I am a local coordinator of the project ANR PRC "Higher Algebra, Geometry, and Topology" (2021-2024), together with Bruno Vallette (main coordinator) and Vladimir Dotsenko
I am an editor of Emergent Scientist , a journal that provides students with a chance to discover peer-review publishing.
I am an organiser of the Séminaire AGATA in Montpellier together with Thibaut Delcroix.

Events

Together with Damien Calaque and Clément Dupont we are organising a workgroup on Graph complexes and moduli spaces of curves.
As a part of our ANR project, Bruno Vallette is hosting a workshop: Opening workshop of the ANR HighAGT, Institut Henry Poincaré (IHP, Paris), January 4-6, 2022.

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?

Here is where I was recently/will be. If you're in one of these places at the same time as me and want to talk, let me know.

June - Barcelona Higher homotopical structures. I will be giving a mini-course in June.

July - Lille Midterm workshop of the FNS-ANR OCHoTop Project - Slides .
