About
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at the University of Ottawa. I am part of the Differential Equations, Scientific Computing, and Biomathematics group (i.e. Applied Mathematics). I received my PhD from the University of Paris-Saclay (France) in december 2015 under the advisement of Professor Caroline Nore and Professor Jean-Luc Guermond.I am looking for students to supervise and also to hire a postdoc (starting Summer or Fall 2027). If you are interested in my research or have any questions about it, feel free to contact me.
