I am an associate professor at Polytech Marseille within Aix-Marseille University. I am a member of the LIRICA team, at the LIS laboratory. Prior to that, I did a first postdoc at LIRIS (INSA Lyon, Lyon, France), and a second one at the LORIA (Université de Lorraine, Nancy, France). I defended my PhD at the Université Clermont Auvergne in December 2021. My research mainly focuses on (enumeration) algorithms on closure systems and their representations.

Research

My PhD has been supervised by Prof. Lhouari Nourine. It has been conducted at the LIMOS (UCA, Clermont-Ferrand, France). I worked on closure systems and their representations by implicational bases or meet-irreducible elements. I studied the problem of translating between these representations, and the task of dualizing closure systems given by either representations. The manuscript can be found here and a handout of the slides here.

Teaching

From 2018 to 2022 I taught within the Clermont Auvergne INP and at the computer science department of Université Clermont Auvergne. In 2021 - 2022 and 2022-2023 I taught at the INSA Lyon. Starting from 2023, I teach at Polytech Marseille within two departments: Industrial engineering and Numerical systems.
