What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in mathematical research.

I am a dedicated mathematician with a PhD in Mathematics from Sorbonne Université, where I focused on Real/Complex Algebraic Geometry applied to Mechanics of Materials. My academic journey has been enriched by various teaching and research positions, including a postdoc at the National University of Singapore, where I am currently enhancing computational efficiency in Polynomial Optimization.

Throughout my career, I have published several papers in reputable journals and presented my research at international conferences. My commitment to advancing mathematical knowledge is evident in my awards, including the Lebesgue fellowship and a CNRS 80 Prime project fellowship, which supported my doctoral research. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about mentoring the next generation of mathematicians.
