I graduated in Computer Science from École Polytechnique (Paris) in 2001. Next I attended ENST Bretagne where I got a MSc in Mathematics and Cognitive Sciences (Cognitive Sciences Lab). I got a PhD in 2007 from McGill with a thesis written under the supervision of Luc Devroye. Since september 2007, I have been a member of the Algorithms group at Inria. Since January 2009, I also participate to the course on Analysis of Algorithms at Master Parisien de Recherche en Informatique.

The group lived happily until February 2011 when Philippe Flajolet, our fearless leader, tragically disappeared. The team still hangs on ; we still do research and battle administration as he was doing feverishly, but it's just not the same without him.

For a picture of the beast, though not so recent, it's here.

I started by some applications to networks and gene multiplications and I now make my way towards more theoretical problems. Now looking towards probability applied to discrete structures and combinatorial geometry. Some precise current topics of research include mostly tree like structures:

• analysis of algorihms and data structures
• branching processes
• random graphs
• geometric networks
• statistical physics

Also interested in percolation, mostly its finite applications. More about what I've done.
