Summary
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at LaBRI, Université de Bordeaux. I work with Nathanaël Fijalkow on the ANR G4S – Games for Synthesis project. My research interests are focused on logic in computer science, and more precisely on automata theory, game theory, formal verification, and controller synthesis for reactive systems.
I am currently in charge of the MTV seminar (Modelling and Technologies for Verification) at LaBRI with Frédéric Herbreteau. If you wish to give a talk, feel free to contact us!
Before this postdoc, I was a PhD student cosupervised by Mickael Randour at UMONS – University of Mons and by Patricia Bouyer at the Laboratoire Méthodes Formelles. I defended my thesis on April 26, 2023; see this page for more details.
