Research interests

I am a Post-doc in Sophia-Antipolis under the direction of Frédéric Havet. I have done my PhD with Nicolas Trotignon between 2010 and 2013. I have been a post-doc in Montréal with Vašek Chvátal, and in Santiago de Chile at Andres Bello university with José Aliste.

I am interested in graph theory (non-oriented and oriented) and in some problems related to geometry in metric spaces and betweenness. In graph theory I am particularly interested in substructures that must apear in a graph or a digraph with particular property such as: if a graph has large chromatic number, what can you say about its induced subgraphs? Or if a digraph has large minimum outdegree, what can we say about its subgraphs? In geometry, I mainly work on the Chen-Chvátal Conjecture, that proposes a vast generalisation of the geometric de Bruijn-Erdös Theorem.
