Biography

I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at McGill University where I work with Niky Kamran.

Previously, I was a post-doc at the Laboratoire de Mathématiques de Besançon where I worked with Nabile Boussaïd and Thierry Daudé on inverse resonance problems.

I prepared my PhD thesis on the subject : "Analytical and projective scattering on spacetimes with positive cosmological constant" at the University of Western Brittany under the supervision of Jean-Philippe Nicolas. In 2022, my thesis was awarded a Prix d’Excellence by the “Fondation UBO”.

In December 2022, at the workshop Mathematical aspects in Black Hole Theory (Observatoire de Paris), I gave three one hour lectures on the topic of Cartan geometries. You can download the notes here.
