I am a Benjamin Peirce Fellow at Harvard University and a postdoctoral researcher at the Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications. I defended my thesis at Université de Lorraine, under the supervision of Valentin Féray and Guillaume Chapuy in June 2024. Here are my thesis dissertation and the slides (in French) of the defense.
My research focuses on algebraic and enumerative combinatorics. I work on problems connecting symmetric functions with combinatorial structures such as maps on non-orientable surfaces, lattice paths, and multiline queues. I am also interested in their connections with mathematical physics.
