M1 — ENS de Lyon, Computer Science
Graduate student in computer science, interested in combinatorics, graph theory and randomness. Looking for a research internship or PhD position.
About
I am a first-year master's student (M1) in the Computer Science department at ENS de Lyon, one of France's grandes écoles. My academic path led me through a classe préparatoire ⓘ A highly selective two-year French post-secondary programme preparing students for competitive entrance exams to top schools (grandes écoles), with an intensive focus on mathematics and science. in the MP2I/MPI track, before joining ENS de Lyon for my undergraduate studies.
My research interests sit at the intersection of discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science and probability. I am particularly drawn to questions about graphs, combinatorial games, and the role of randomness in algorithms and structures.
Structural properties, games on graphs, and algorithmic aspects of network problems.
Extremal combinatorics, combinatorial games, and connections to complexity theory.
Probabilistic methods, random structures, and randomised algorithms.

Experience
Research Internship — Probabilistic Combinatorics
Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden
Three-month research internship supervised by Victor Falgas-Ravry. Studying connectivity and the emergence of the giant component in random subcube intersection graphs, focusing on phase transitions and structural properties.
Research Internship — Combinatorics & Graph Theory
LaBRI, Université de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, France
Six-week research internship supervised by Mathieu Hilaire and Nacim Oijid. Studied combinatorial games on graphs, focusing on the Happy Vertex Game in the Maker-Breaker framework. This work led to a publication accepted at FUN 2026.
Mathematics Oral Examiner (Colleur) ⓘ Weekly oral examinations in French preparatory classes (classes préparatoires), typically conducted in small groups of two to three students. Students solve problems on the board and explain their reasoning in real time under the guidance of an examiner.
Lycée La Martinière Monplaisir, Lyon, France
Conducted weekly oral examinations in mathematics for first-year MP2I students, focusing on problem solving, mathematical rigor, and clear oral presentation.
