After studying physics and mathematics at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, I started working on Quantum Gravity under the supervision of Carlo Rovelli, in Marseille, in the South of France, by the beautiful calanques of Luminy.

I actually spent my first under the co-supervision of Lee Smolin at Imperial College in London UK, learning about quantum gravity and matrix models for string theory. I then came back to Marseille to work full time on spinfoam models and loop quantum gravity.
