I am a postdoctoral researcher at Leipzig University, and a guest researcher
at Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig, working
in the Research Group in Nonlinear Algebra led by Bernd Sturmfels.
I obtained my Ph.D. in August 2018 from Rennes University 1 - IRMAR
under the supervision of Christophe Ritzenthaler and Sylvain Duquesne.
My research interests lie in:
- algebraic geometry
- number theory
more specifically in
- moduli of algebraic curves
- moduli of algebraic surfaces of low dimension.
I also enjoy studying the connections of algebraic geometry
and number theory to
- algebraic statistics
- cryptography
- coding theory
- tropical geometry
- representation theory
- discrete geometry...
