Biography

I am an Assistant Professor (Maître de Conférences) in Statistics at Université Gustave-Eiffel, and a member of LAMA (Laboratoire d’analyse et de mathématiques appliquées).

Prior to that, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the INDY Lab at EPFL, supervised by Patrick Thiran and Matthias Grossglauser. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science in 2022 from Inria Sophia Antipolis, where I was supervised by Konstantin Avrachenkov.

My research focuses on developing innovative algorithms and understanding the fundemental theoretical limits for the identification of meaningful patterns and structures within large datasets, as well as designing efficient algorithms for these problems. I am particularly interested in network analysis, community detection, and clustering. 

Our book, Statistical Analysis of Networks, provides a general introduction to the statistical analysis of networks and present various concepts such as network modeling, community detection, graph-based semi-supervised learning, and sampling in networks. The book is available in open-access.

Together with Daniel Ratton Figueiredo, I gave a tutorial on community detection at ACM SIGMETRICS / IFIP PERFORMANCE (June 10, 2024). A recording of the tutorial is available here.

For those preparing for the Agrégation de Mathématiques, my earlier book Leçons pour l’agrégation de mathématiques - Préparation à l’oral (in French) may be of interest.
