Research topics

My work takes place at the interface between algebraic topology, in particular knot theory, and representation theory of quantum groups. More specifically, my interests cover:

• Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants,
• Categorification: Khovanov homology and categorified quantum groups,
• Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev 3-manifold invariants,
• Alexander polynomial and categorification,
• Skein modules and Jones-Kauffman algebras,
• braid theory.

Vita

• In 2025-2026, I am based in Canberra, at the IRL FAMSI.
• In 2022-2024, I had a Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellowship. I visited the MSI, Australian National University, where I ran a learning seminar and a workshop.
• From 2015: chargé de recherches CNRS at IMAG, Montpellier.
• 2014-2015: Research Fellow at the Australian National University, working with Tony Licata and Scott Morrison,
• 2013: PhD from the Université Paris 7, where my thesis was conducted by Christian Blanchet and Catharina Stroppel.

Conferences

I have joined the organizers teams for Winter Braids and Matemale Spring School.

Editor

I have recently joined the editorial board of the Winter Braids lecture notes.

Projects

• The ANR project CaGeT, co-led with Anne-Laure Thiel, will start in January 2025. We will advertise several post-doctoral positions.
• I am a member of the ANR Project NASQI, led by Éric Vernier.
• Together with Adeline Barnaud, Anne-Céline Thuillet, Cécile Berthouly-Salazar and Delphine Renard, I am a member of the project GEOMAG. This project, funded by the CNRS MITI, investigates geometric approaches to crop diversity characterization.
• Together with Olivier Gimenez and Jessica Guérand, I run the IMPT-funded project DyGesTe in ecology. After a startup funding in 2024, we have just been awarded a PhD grant to start in the Fall 2025.

News

• I appear on Nathalie Ayi's podcast Tête à tête chercheuse(s). It's also available on Youtube or Spotify.
