I am a PhD student in mathematics at Université Jean Monnet in Saint-Étienne, Institut Camille Jordan, under the supervision of Stéphane Gaussent and the co-supervision of Mikhail Gorsky. Before starting my PhD, I studied mathematics at the École normale supérieure de Lyon for M1 and M2.
Here is my CV in detail.
My research lies at the intersection of representation theory, algebraic combinatorics, and geometry. In particular, I am interested in applications of gallery models to the representation theory of Kac–Moody algebras, cluster algebras, and related categorification problems.

I study combinatorial and geometric models in representation theory, with a particular focus on paths and galleries. My work explores how certain models in the weight space connect MV polytopes and crystal structures.
In joint work with Mikhail Gorsky, we investigate categorical structures associated with subword complexes and their Hall algebras. My current research also explores the geometry of galleries in buildings as a framework for studying subword complexes.
