My research statement is available here.
I am a Mathematics postdoc in the
POP team
of
LAAS-CNRS
with
Victor Magron
and
Igor Klep
supported by
COMPUTE.
We develop and improve algorithms to solve computational problems through the exploitation of algebraic structures.
In particular, I am interested in crystallographic symmetries related to Weyl groups and weight lattices of Lie algebras, multiplicative invariants, generalized Chebyshev polynomials as well as applications in polynomial optimization and combinatorics. My favorite research project hides behind the images to the right. |

My tabular CV is available here. I have studied Mathematics at RWTH Aachen University and conducted my doctorate at Centre Inria d'Université Côte d'Azur with Evelyne Hubert. As a member of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network POEMA, I have been elected representative of the network's fifteen early stage researchers. In December 2022, I defended my dissertation on Crystallographic Groups and Chebyshev Polynomials in Global Optimization. Afterwards, I joined the Algebra Group of University of Kaiserslautern-Landau as a postdoc with Ulrich Thiel and contributed to the DFG project SFB-TRR 195 and the research program SymbTools. Next to research and advanced algebra studies, I have participated in various teaching and dissemination activities. Following my interest in applying algebra to problems in optimization and combinatorics, I did a second postdoc within the POP team of LAAS-CNRS with Victor Magron and Igor Klep supported by COMPUTE. In Toulouse, I have specialized on optimization algorithms and algebraic structure exploitation.
