Research interests

  • My research is in the field of mathematics, specifically at the intersection of algebraic geometry and algebraic topology. I study objects such as moduli spaces of genus g curves with marked points, operads (a type of algebra), Frobenius manifolds and Grothendieck–Teichmüller groups. I am also interested in Koszulness problems. 

I also work with real/complex algebraic varieties. In particular, I am interested in counting the number of connected components of a real algebraic variety of a fixed degree. 

 

  • PhD Thesis. 

I did my PhD thesis at the University of Aix-Marseille and Sorbonne University (Université Paris 6).

Title: Une nouvelle decomposition de l'espace des polynômes à racines simples: application à la cohomologie des groupes de tresses.

Supervisors: Bernard Coupet & Norbert A'Campo.

 

Description:

This Thesis gives a new approach to compute cohomology groups of configuration spaces of points in the complex plane. The approach relies on introducing a Čech cover of this space, where each stratum is indexed by a Gauss drawing (colored graph embedded in the complex plane). 

 

  • Master Thesis. 

I did my master thesis at the University of Geneva (Switzerland) with Daniel Coray. The title is Étude de la connexité des surfaces algébriques réelles.

In this Thesis, I contributed to the problem of counting the number of connected components of real algebraic varieties of a given degree (which is a problem deeply related to the Hilbert 16th problem). In particular, I showed that a degree 4 algebraic surface, invariant under the octahedral group, has a maximal number of connected components equal to 9.
