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. I became a Chargé de Recherche in Montpellier (IMAG) in 2018 before moving to my current role in Toulouse.
