Work Experience
September 2022-now
Lecturer in mathematics and referent for the Propedeutic Center
I teach propedeutic classes at EPFL and I joined the Propedeutic Center of EPFL as a referent for Analysis to help support the teaching of the first year of EPFL, across all sections.
EPFL, Switzerland
April 2022-August 2022
Postdoc
After finishing my PhD, I stayed the last few months of my contract as a postdoc in the group led by Kathryn Hess.
EPFL, Switzerland
Education
October 2018 - March 2022
PhD
Under the supervision of Kathryn Hess
EPFL, Switzerland
The first years of my PhD were on persistent homology applied to images in the context of computer vision. I also studied the duality between the persistent homology of dual digital image constructions. The second part consisted in studying the space of barcodes from a combinatorial and geometric point of view and its relation to the space of trees.

Teaching
Since 2022
Think Tank Teaching Sustainability
Since the Climathics workshop, we organise weekly meetings to discuss how to implement more sustainability in teaching mathematics and science.
2018-2022
EPFL
Students Supervision
I supervised and co-supervised several bachelor students (in mathematics and life science) during their semester projects. Topics included: Euler calculus, graphs applied to brain networks, topological tree morphology.
2018-2022
EPFL
Euler course
At EPFL, I teach a class for the Euler course, a special program for bright students in school, who attend university-level classes. I am currently teaching a course called "Algebraic Structures" after teaching "Geometry I" for a year.
2016 - 2018
University of Geneva
Teaching Assistant
I started teaching bachelor students as a TA during my Master at the University of Geneva. I taught several hours a week students in algebra, geometry and analysis.
Events & Academic Life
2018-now
Events & Organisation
EPFL
I organised a workshop on mathematics and climate change. I was a co-organiser of the Applied Topology Seminar at EPFL. I co-organised a workshop for young PhD students at IST Vienna in April 2019 and the Young Topologist Meeting at EPFL in July 2019.
2019-2021
Academic life & Admin
EPFL
PhD representative for the mathematics department.
2013-2018
Academic life & Admin
University of Geneva
During my studies at the University of Geneva, I was deeply involved in the life of the university. I was president of the Science Student association during the academic year of 2016-2017 and I was part of the organising comity of science job fairs.
Outreach
2023
Teacher Training Organiser
Comission Romande Mathématiques
In September 2023, I will organise the teaching training for highschool teachers on maths and big challenges.
2022
Finalist "My Thesis in 180 seconds"
EPFL
2021
Logic workshop
I presented my thesis at the contest "My Thesis in 180 seconds". The video is available (in French) here.
Creation of a logic workshop "maths to understand the world" that was presented to classes of the outreach service of EPFL and public schools.
2016-2018
University of Geneva
The mathematic department of the University of Geneva organises a lot of outreach activities. I animated workshops in mathematics for schools with the Mathscope, and I participated in a few outreach conferences in Europe. I supervised highschool students while they were following classes at university through the Athena program.
