About Me

I have completed a PhD in Mathematics at the University of Bordeaux I in the Laboratoire A2X. My field of research is Algorithmic Number Theory. I am now a scientific computing engineer (CNRS) at the Institut de Mathématiques de Bordeaux (UMR 5251). Formerly I was a scientific computing engineer at the Université Montpellier 2 at the I3M and LIRMM.

I work in the Pole MCD of the Cellule Informatique de l'IMB on development of mathematical software related to number theory.

I am a member of the MCSA doctoral network COGENT and of the PEPR Cryptanalyse.

I was awarded the 2020 Crystal Medal by the French CNRS for my work on PARI/GP, thanks to the support of the number theory community, and the Richard Dimick Jenks Memorial Prize 2021 Award for the PARI/GP computer algebra system, which also received the Free software for research 2024 award, in category Community.
