Personal profile

Research interests

I work in the field of geometric group theory. I am particularly interested in studying actions on nonpositively curved spaces of large classes of groups (such as Artin and Coxeter groups) in order to understand their algebraic and geometric structure. 

Biography

I arrived at Heriot-Watt University as assistant professor in 2017. Before that, I was a postdoc at the University of Vienna (Austria) during the period 2013-2017, and a Lise Meitner postdoctoral fellow during 2015-2017. 

I did my undergraduate and postgraduate studies at École Normale Supérieure in Paris during the period 2006-2010, after which I did my PhD at the University of Strasbourg (France), 2010-2013.
