Since October 2017, I am part of the AlGCO team at the LIRMM (Montpellier, France), with teaching duties at the Université Paul Valéry.

I am interested in planar maps and graphs. For the moment, I am working on different kinds of graph drawing, and in combinatorial optimization (mainly around the theme of "power domination").
I defended my thesis (with title: "Planar graphs: non-aligned drawings, power domination and enumeration of Eulerian orientations") on June 14th, 2017, at the University of Bordeaux. My supervisors were Nicolas Bonichon and Paul Dorbec.

Research

I am generally interested in problems concerning planar graphs, especially graph drawing, enumeration and power domination.

Other research activities

I took part on the organization of BGW 2014 and BGW 2016

Teaching

I am currently teaching at the "Université Paul Valéry de Montpellier", hosting students of arts subjects, languages and social sciences. I teach general computer science and databases to bachelor and masters students. I also have a course about LaTeX.
From 2014 to 2017, I was teaching at Bordeaux IUT in computer science, for students of first and second year. I teach (or taught) Computer Networks, C++ programming, and databases.
