About me

I studied mathematics at the Université libre de Bruxelles where I got my Ph; D. thesis in 1997 with a thesis entitled Interprétations mutuelles entre une théorie positive des ensemble et une extension de la théorie de Kelley-Morse. In 1997-1998, I did researches at the Università di Pisa in collaboration with Professor Marco Forti. From Ocotober 1998 to September 2001; I was chargé de recherches at the FNRS (Fonds National de la Recherches Scientifique - Belgian Fund for Scientific Research).  From October 2003 to September 2004; I vistit Thomas Forster at the University of Cambridge.

My major interest is set theory; more particularly set theory with a universal set: the interresting theories in this aera are the positive theory, which is a "topological set theory" and the theory New Foundation of Quine. You can find my curriculum vitae here:
