Welcome

I'm a Post-Doc Post-Doc with Assia Mahboubi, at Inria Nantes.

Here's a short CV .

My research interests lie at the interface of Logic, Type Theory and Functional Analysis. I am interested in continuous models of computations, and their applications to differential equations.

News:

• With Guilhem Jaber, we're organizing a reading group on differentiable programming.
• I will participate to Bellair's workshop on higher-order probabilistic computation in March 2019.
• I will speak at SYCO in Oxford, also in March 2019. This is a friendly and non-competitive meeting, consider submitting !
• I will participate to ETAPS 2019 , in Prague, 6-11th April.
