Welcome on my webpage. Im am currently a PIMS post-doctoral fellow at the University of Victoria (department of mathematics and statistics). I am being supervised by Ian Putnam.

Until 2010, I had a position in University of Lyon, France (more precisely, Université Lyon 1; Institut Camille Jordan). I graduated from this university, under the supevision of Johannes Kellendonk. I defended my PhD thesis December 10, 2009. The dissertation was about non-periodic tilings of the Euclidean space.

Research topics

My research was first on complexity of cut-and-project tilings. Complexity is a notion that is especially used in word theory. Yet, the asymptotic behaviour of the complexity function of a tiling seems to be related to the topology of the dynamical system associated to this tiling.

Another aspect of my research is linked with non-commutative geometry of tiling spaces. In an article of Pearson and Bellissard, is described a construction of a spectral triple on ultrametric Cantor sets. When the Cantor set is self-similar (this is the case up to Lipschitz-equivalence for tiling space transversals), it is possible to actually carry out computations.

For more details, here is a list of publications.

Teaching (at UVic)

Fall 2010:

Teaching

Since 2010: Lectures of Math 100 (Calculus I), Math 101 (Calculus II), Math 200 (Multi-Variable Calculus), Math 211 (Linear Algebra).

Between 2007 and 2010: various tutorials in Université Lyon 1 (being in charge of tutorials includes selection of exercises, and making of tutorial sheet). Namely: first year analysis; bilinear algebra; 3rd year differential calculus.
