Clément Legrand – Duchesne

I am a third year PhD student at LaBRI in Bordeaux. You might be looking for Clément Legrand – Lixon who studied at ENS Rennes at the same time as me.

I am broadly interested in combinatorics and graph theory, with a special fondness for reconfiguration and problems with a geometric flavor. In particular, a significant part of my work focuses on colorings and Kempe changes. My supervisors are Marthe Bonamy and Vincent Delecroix and I am a member of the teams Graphes et Optimisations and Combinatoire et Interactions.

Interests

I practice bouldering several times a week and I recently started playing ultimate frisbee. I enjoy board sports of all kinds. When the weather is not good enough for those activities, I like to read sci-fi or fantasy, to cook or to play classical guitar.
