About Me

About me

I am a Chargé de Recherche (CNRS researcher) at the University of Toulouse (IMT) since 2022. I'm mostly interested in operads, graph complexes, homotopical algebra and the way they interact with physics and algebraic topology.

I completed my PhD under the supervision of Thomas Willwacher and was an SNF Postdoc at the University Paris 13 hosted by Bruno Vallette and became a chargé de recherche in Montpellier (IMAG) in 2018.

Responsible for...

I am a local coordinator of the project ANR PRC "Higher Algebra, Geometry, and Topology" (2021-2024), together with Bruno Vallette (main coordinator) and Vladimir Dotsenko
I am an organiser of the Séminaire d'Homotopie en Géométrie Algébrique in Toulouse together with Joost Nuiten.
I organise the biyearly Séminaire ALPE in Toulouse and Montpellier together with Joost Nuiten, Damien Calaque and Sylvain Brochard.
I am an editor of Emergent Scientist , a journal that provides students with a chance to discover peer-review publishing.
I was previously an organiser of the Séminaire AGATA in Montpellier.

Events

Together with Maria Manuel Clementino and João Gouveia we are organising the conference Global Portuguese Mathematicians in Coimbra, July 2023.
As a part of our ANR project, Vladimir Dotsenko will host a Midterm workshop of the ANR HighAGT, Strasbourg, May 2023.

Where can you find me?

If you're in Toulouse you can usually find me in my office at the IMT (Building 1R2, office 243 ), but feel free to write me an e-mail. How to get to get here?
