Since september 2021, I am an assistant professor (Maître de conférence) in Montpellier at LIRMM. I am member of the ESCAPE team and I teach in the computer-science department of IUT Montpellier-Sète.

My research interests are combinatorics, theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics. More precisely, I study combinatorics on words and graph theory. I frequently use computer assisted proofs.

In 2020-2021, I was a postdoc (ATER) at liRMM.

In 2019-2020, I was a postdoc (ATER) at liS.

In 2018-2019, I was a postdoc with the group of discrete mathematics of the University of liège.

In 2017-2018, I was a postdoc at liMOS.

I did my PhD thesis under the direction of Michaël Rao at the liP. I worked on the avoidability of substructures in words. In particular, I studied the avoidability of patterns and powers in the usual, the abelian or the additive sens.
