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...
