Research
Keywords: algorithm design ; parameterized complexity ; scheduling ; graph theory.
I work on the design of efficient algorithms for scheduling problems. I am especially interested in characterizing the computational complexity of these problems, taking inspiration from the well established parameterized approach in graph theory.

Activities
- Full list of research activities.
- Since May 2026 I have been a postdoc in the GROG team of G-SCOP at Grenoble INP under the supervision of Margaux Nattaf, Marie-Laure Espinouse and Pierre Xavier Thivel. I have been studying the scheduling of charging a fleet of electric buses, taking into account battery degradation.
- From November 2024 to April 2026 I was a postdoc in the ROMA team of LIP at ENS Lyon under the supervision of Frédéric Vivien and Anne Benoit. I studied the scheduling of radio-astronomical observations.
- From October 2021 to October 2024 I was a PhD student in the RO team of LIP6 at Sorbonne Université under the supervision of Claire Hanen. I studied the parameterized complexity of the Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) and its subproblems, possibly augmented with precedence delays and time window constraints.
- My PhD thesis is available here

Teaching
Past:
- From September 2025 to January 2026, I oversaw practical classes at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1. Two courses were involved:
LIFAPSD (algorithm design and programming in C++) and
BDW (databases and web programming).
- From October 2021 to September 2024, during my PhD thesis at Sorbonne Université, I was a chargé de mission d'enseignement at Polytech Sorbonne (64 hours a year, 192 hours total).
