My research                                                     [En français]



I study algebraic topology and more precisely classical homotopy theory and its algebraic version, called A¹- homotopy theory.
Some of the keywords associated to my research: configuration spaces, loop spaces, operads, space of rational functions, Atiyah-Hitchin schemes, A¹- homotopy theory, resultants.

Position

Since September 2010, I am a "maître de conférences" at the laboratoire Jean Dieudonné, in Nice.

Before that, I was a postdoc in the topology group of the mathematical institute of Bonn. My mentors there were Carl-Friedrich Bödigheimer and Jens Hornbostel.

Seminar

In collaboration with Ann Lemahieu, I organise the weekly seminar of the Algebra, Geometry and Topology group. The program is here.

Reading group

    In 2010-2011, I organised a reading goup with the other topologists on the J-homomorphism.
    In 2011-2012, Bruno Vallette organised the reading group. The subject focused on Drinfeld associators, multizêta values, and Grothendieck-Teichmüller groups.
    In 2012-2013, Frédéric Patras organised the reading group on Algebraic structures in characteristic p.
   In 2013-2014, Bruno Vallette organised the reading group: Higher algebra
   In 2014-2015, together with Bruno Vallette, we organised the reading group : Factorisation algebras
  

Thesis

Thesis I got my PhD from the laboratoire d'analyse géométrie et applications at University  Paris XIII in France. My advisor was Jean Lannes.

The title of my PhD thesis is "Théorie homotopique des schémas d'Atiyah et Hitchin". [Abstract] [Full-text]
