PhD at the University of Durham, Department of Mathematics, 2003-2007.
My thesis (2007) was titled "One loop phenomenology of type II string theory: intersecting D-branes and noncommutativity" and can be downloaded from inspire. My supervisor was Steven Abel.
My Habilitation thesis (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) from Sorbonne Université in February 2019 was called "Automatic non-minimal phenomenology."
