Welcome to my personal webpage!

I am PhD graduate in Mathematics from the Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale, where I conducted my thesis under the supervision of Nicolas Chenavier, David Coupier, and Arnaud Rousselle. I defended my thesis in July 2025, and the manuscript is available here.

As a PhD student, I was working in probability theory and my thesis work focused on IDLA aggregates and trees (some simulations are given below).

A 2-dimensional IDLA tree

Python GUI 🐍

I have developed an easy-to-use GUI in Python to simulate some IDLA aggregates. It is available on my GitHub, by clicking here. You will be able to simulate IDLA aggregates and trees in 2D and 3D, along with some multi-source aggregates, which is what my research focuses on. Each user has the possibility to save the generated simulations. More info is available on the GitHub page.
