Short bio

I am a Professor at Bordeaux University since Sepetmber 2015. I am a member of the combinatorics and quantum info research groups of LaBRI.

Between 2010 and 2015 I was an Associate Professor at Sorbonne Paris North University. I have passed my Habilitation, "Combinatorics in Quantum Field Theory and Random Tensor Models" in November 2012.

I began my studies at the University of Bucharest (1997-2000) and then attended École Normale Supérieure Lyon (2000-2002). My PhD (2002-2005), in co-direction at the University of Haute Alsace and the University of Strasbourg, examined the rôle played by algebraic structures (Lie algebras and some graduated generalizations) in quantum mechanics (the Weyl algebra) and in field theory. After spending one more year at the University of Haute Alsace, I was granted a CNRS post-doc (2007-2008) at Orsay, in Vincent Rivasseau's fantastic group. During my time there, I began working intensively on different topics related to renormalizability in commutative and non-commutative quantum field theories. The following year (2007-2008) I took on a position as a CNRS-associated researcher in Orsay and then continued as a visiting scientist at the Institut Max Planck of Bonn and at IHES. Between 2008 and 2010, I was a post-doc at the Center for Theoretical Physics of École Polytechnique.

Research interests

I am currently working on both combinatorial physics and quantum computing. More precisesly, I am interested in the investigation of the role played by different combinatorial structures in various quantum field theoretical and quantum gravity models and I also work on various topics of quantum information and computation.

Publications

All of my articles are available on arXiv.

PhD supervisions

A (non-exhaustive) list of PhD thesis I have supervised can be found here.

Distinction

Junior member of "Institut Universitaire de France" (IUF), 2015-2020.

Creation of an international journal - "Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincaré D: Combinatorics, Physics and their Interactions"

After my recruitment in Paris 13, I had the idea of ​​creating an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the growing interface between Combinatorics and Physics. The contract represents the birth of this new journal, "Annals of the Institut Henri Poincaré D, Combinatorics, Physics and their Interactions" was signed in July 2013 by Cédric Villani, director of the Institut Henri Poincaré (IHP) and Thomas Hintermann, Director of the Publishing House of the Europeean Mathematical Society" (EMS). This journal thus became the 4th annals of IHP and, at the same time, the 17th journal published by the EMS Publishing House

I having been the Managing Editor of this journal until 2018. Since 2018 I am Editor-in-chief. I am also founding editor of the journal.

Teaching

I am currently teaching at Bordeaux Univ. and at ENSEIRB, Bordeaux INP.

Journal referee

I have been refeering articles for various scientific journals such as "Commun. Math. Phys.", "European Journal of Combinatorics", "Annales Henri Poincaré", "Journal of High Energy Physics", "Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical", "Journal of Mathematical Physics", "Classical and Quantum Gravity", "Central European Journal of Physics", "Romanian Reports in Physics", "Proceeding of the 4th European Non Commutative Geometry Network" etc..

Funding agencies expert

I have been a scientific expert for various funding agencies such as Agence Nationale pour la Recherche, France; Austrian Science Fund, Austria Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, Netherlands etc.
