About me #

I am a Senior CNRS Researcher (Directeur de Recherche CNRS), working in the Combinatorial Optimization group of the G-SCOP Laboratory in Grenoble, France.

I am interested in all aspects of graph theory and its connections with various fields (mostly in mathematics and computer science). A non-exhaustive list of interests include combinatorial optimization, (distributed) algorithms, extremal combinatorics, property testing, communication complexity, geometric group theory, probability theory, discrete geometry, and topology.
