PhD student at CERMICS (École nationale des ponts et chaussées) and LJLL (Sorbonne Université).
About me
I am a PhD student in mathematics, supervised by Amaury Hayat (CERMICS – École nationale des ponts et chaussées) and Emmanuel Trélat (LJLL – Sorbonne Université). My academic focus is rooted in mathematical analysis, with particular interests in the control theory of partial differential equations (PDEs), specifically stabilization techniques, as well as in differential and Riemannian geometry.
This past summer, I had the opportunity to undertake my M2 internship under the supervision of my PhD advisors. The internship report, titled "Sharp observability estimates and F-equivalence for parabolic equations", is available here.
Awards
- Perronet Prize 2026 — Best graduating engineering student award from École nationale des ponts et chaussées.
- Fermat Junior Prize 2023 — Award for an outstanding undergraduate research thesis in mathematics (available here), Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse.
Games
Wednesday 07/01/26, I played ranked matches of a highly advanced mathematical game against Sara Khichane, winning all of them — 4 victories in total (there was also one unranked match, which Sara won by sheer luck).
