I am an associate professor (maîtresse de conférence) at the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu - Paris Rive Gauche (IMJ-PRG) of Sorbonne Université. I belong to the group "Topologie et Géometrie Algébriques" (TGA).

​

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in Paris: first as a Hadamard fellow at the Institut de Physique Théorique (IPhT) of Paris-Saclay and at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES), in the group of Bertrand Eynard, and then at the Université de Paris, supported by the ERC CombiTop of Guillaume Chapuy.

 

I did my PhD studies under the guidance of Gaëtan Borot and Don Zagier in the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics (MPIM) in Bonn.

​

Research interests: topological recursion (TR), moduli space of curves, combinatorial maps, integrable systems, resurgence, free probability, matrix integrals, exact WKB, modular forms... 

​

I find interactions between fields especially fascinating and I am always curious to learn about new exciting mathematics. 

​

Some current dreams:

  • Geometry of topological recursion.

  • Triple duality: symplectic, simple and free.

  • From graphs to the moduli space of curves.

  • From the geometry of cycles to the resurgence of TR.

  • Accessing large genus.

  • Towards real/non-orientable refinements.
