I am a "Chargé de Recherche" CNRS at Institut de Mathématiques de Bordeaux.

Previously, I was a postdoc in Montréal (CRM, McGill and UQAM) and in the Probability and Combinatorics group of Uppsala University. I did my PhD at IRIF in the Combinatorics team where my advisor was Guillaume Chapuy. Here is my PhD manuscript, and the slides of the defense.

New: 2-year postdoc position in Bordeaux, starting Fall 2025.
Deadline : 31/12/2024, more details here.

Research interests

Geometry of surfaces and enumeration (in a broad sense). I mainly study combinatorial maps (i.e. graphs embedded on surfaces), but I also work with other models of surfaces and combinatorial families. These days, I am particularly interested in large genus behaviour, bivariate asymptotics and the link with integrable hierachies.
