I am a tenure-track assistant professor at the University of Toronto. Before, I was a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute and demi-ATER at the Université Grenoble Alpes. I did my phD at the Université Paris Diderot under the supervision of Marc Hindry.
My research interest lies in arithmetic geometry, at the intersection of arithmetic statistics and Diophantine geometry. I am interested in elliptic surfaces, or families of elliptic curves, and various related objects like root number and del Pezzo surfaces. A few years ago, I was more on the analytic side of number theory, but I seem to have moved to algebraic geometry tools in order to understand the distribution of rational points. Whatever the technique or the field, my passion lies in arithmetic questions.
Last semester (Fall 2025), I was teaching Algebra I (Mat1100) for graduate students.
This semester (Winter 2026), I will be teaching History of Mathematics (Mat387) at the Mississauga campus. My office hour is 3-4 on Thursdays or online by demand.

Random details about me: I am partially supported by an NSERC Discovery grant. Ma langue maternelle est le français. Ich kann auch Deutsch reden. I am a novelist and I volunteer sometimes as a literary editor.
Prospective students: I am currently supervising 2 PhD and 2 Msc so I am unlikely to accept a new student before September 2026.
