Since October 2022, I am a postdoctoral researcher at CISPA in the group of Sebastian Brandt.

Before that, I did a first postdoc at Reykjavik University where I was hosted by Magnús M. Halldórsson, and even earlier I was a Ph.D. student at Paris Diderot University (later University of Paris, now Paris Cité University) in the theoretical computer science research institute (IRIF), where my advisor was Sophie Laplante.

Research interests

My main research interests at the moment are in distributed computing and graph algorithms, especially the intersection of the two. Other topics that I find interesting and am sometimes working on include other restricted models of computation like communication complexity or streaming, the quantum versions of these models, and randomized algorithms in general.
