Presentation

I am currently a postdoc in mathematics at the Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, working in the Metric Geometry team with JProf. Claudio Llosa Isenrich. Previously I was in Sorbonne université in Paris, and before that in Fribourg and Pisa, in the ERC Geomeg. I achieved my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Pierre Pansu in the Université Paris-Saclay in 2019. It was motivated by the work and questions of Yves Cornulier.

Here is a cv, and an academic family picture.

Research

Interests Geometric group theory, and especially the large-scale geometry of connected Lie groups and their lattices. I have local interests in Riemannian geometry, and in dynamics on homogeneous spaces as well. Here is a research statement and scientific project: short version.
