Short Bio

I am a tenured Inria Researcher, within the INOCS team, working in Lille, France. Previously, I worked as a Research Fellow and Assistant Professor with Ecole des Mines de Paris, in Sophia Antipolis, France. I received the M.Sc.A. degree from the University of Rennes and the ENS Rennes, Dipl. Ing. in Information Science from Institut Mines-Télécom Atlantique, and the Ph.D. degree in Applied Mathematics from the University of Rennes. 

My current research interests revolve around game theory, optimization, learning in games, with applications in markets, security, and societal-scale system problems.

Domains of interest and research

• Computational Game Theory and Applications

• Stackelberg Games and Reverse Stackelberg Games

• Multi-Agent Learning in Games

• Societal-Scale System Problems
