I am a Chargé de Recherche at the CNRS, in mathematics.
I am part of the Algebra and Geometry team at the LAREMA in Angers.
In 2025-2026 I was a Lecteur Hadamard at the CMLS. My mathematical contact there was Omid Amini.
During the spring semester of 2025 I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, for the special year event organized by June Huh.
In 2023-2024 I was a postdoctoral research assistant at the School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London, under the supervision of Alex Fink. I was also the organizer of the Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry seminar at QMUL.
My PhD was supervised by Vladimir Dotsenko in Strasbourg. It was awarded the 2024 thesis prize of the university of Strasbourg.

CV
You can find my CV here.
My research area is centered around the study of combinatorial objects such as matroids, via methods of algebraic topology (operadic structures, Koszul duality theory).
Supervision
I have supervised the M2 master's thesis of Eirikur Hver at the CMLS.
