This page contains the documents for the Habilitation à diriger des recherches (HDR):
Document summarising my main contribution to the field (mémoire HDR) and summary in English and French (pdf here)
The selection of papers I am presenting here reflects my four research areas. However, rather than trying being balanced across the areas, I am submitting i) a series of papers on one specific topic and ii) a sample from each area.
The complete list of my scientific production can be found here (if you are interested in the pdf version of any of them, just let me know.).
Slides of recent talks can be found here.
