Brief bio

From Sept. 2024, I am a  Maître de Conférences (Associate Professor) at the Université de Lille, France, where I am part of the CFHP team at CRIStAL. 

From Mar. 2024 to Aug. 2024, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Algebra, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria, where I worked with Manuel Kauers.  Previously I held a postdoctoral position at the Algebra Group of UiT The Arctic University of Norway under the supervision of Cordian Riener.

In Dec. 2020, I received doctorates, under a co-tutelle agreement, in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo, Canada under the supervision of Éric Schost and George Labahn and the Sorbonne Université (Paris 6), France under the supervision of Mohab Safey El Din.

Before that, I obtained a master degree in Fundamental Computer Science from the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France in 2017.

Research interests

Computer Algebra (Symbolic Computation), Polynomial System Solving, Computational Algebraic Geometry.
