Who am I?

I am a Master 2 student at ENS de Lyon, currently doing a research internship under the supervision of Stéphan Thomassé in the team MC2 at LIP (ENS de Lyon).

Interests

My main interests lie in graph theory and combinatorics, especially in structural graph theory and extremal combinatorics.

Academic background

Education

2021 - 2023

Master's student at ENS de Lyon.

I mostly studied graph theory, combinatorics, algebra, cryptography and complexity.


2020 - 2021

Licence's degree at ENS de Lyon.

I studied fundamental computer science and mathematics.


2018 - 2020

Scientific Preparatory Class at Lycée Chateaubriand, Rennes.

Two years studying mathematics, computer science and physics in order to join the ENS.

Internships

Early 2023

6 months internship with Stéphan Thomassé at ENS de Lyon, France.

The aim of this internship was to study the χ-boundedness of graphs of bounded twin-width. I also studied other problems related to strctures of bounded twin-width. You can find here my master's thesis and the slides of my defense.


Summer 2022

4 months internship with Alon Rosen at Bocconi University, Milano, Italy.

During this internship, I studied the complexity of various total search problems related to extremal combinatorics.


Summer 2021

6 weeks internship with Marthe Bonamy at LaBRI, Bordeaux, France.

This internship was my first experience with graph theory. I studied Brandes' algorithm to compute the betweenness centrality in a graph.
