Curriculum Vitae

Timeline

• 2011-2014 Bachelor in mathematics at ULB.
• 2014-2016 Master in mathematics at ULB with one term abroad at UBC (Canada).
• 2016- 2020 PhD at ULB under the supervision of Michele D'Adderio. Title of the dissertation: "Delta conjectures and Theta refinements".
• 2021 - 2022 post-doc at IRIF, Université de Paris (FSMP-fellow).
• 2022 - present post-doc at ULB.

Teaching

• During my Phd, I was a half-time teaching assistant at ULB. I taught the exercise sessions for topics including linear algebra, analysis, topology, ring theory, Galois theory and general mathematics courses.
• Summer 2022: lecturer on SageMath at ICTP-EAUMP School on Mathematical Programming and Algorithms in Nairobi. Here are my course materials.
• Fall 2022: co-lecturer for PhD course at the University of Pisa on Chromatic symmetric functions. Here is are the notes.
• Fall 2023: lecturer for the first year course Calcul Matriciel et Géométrie analytique, at ULB.

Miscellaneous

• Some animations I made for teaching purposes: Pythagoras , Al-Kashi , Koch, cos, squarefractal, dérivée, logarithmes.
  They were created using the Python library Manim. I'll gladly share all the code, just contact me.
• Pourquoi être critique face au numérique á l'école ? Comment en faire un outil émancipateur ?
• I never open ms teams, send me an email instead.
