I am a PhD student in Applied Mathematics at CMAP (École Polytechnique) since October 2024, affiliated with the PEIPS and MERGE research teams. My doctoral research is supervised by Sylvie Méléard and Viet-Chi Tran. My thesis is funded by the ERC SINGER, and I am a member of the Chaire MMB and the GdR Branchement.
My work focuses on the mathematical modeling of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria (plasmid conjugation), using tools such as Markov processes, their time reversal, spinal decomposition, integro-differential equations, interacting particle systems on graphs, and numerical simulation. I am particularly interested in questions related to evolutionary theory (evolutionary trade-offs, mutualism, cooperation, and cheating), as well as the occurrence of transfer and alignment phenomena across diverse contexts, from microbiology to human behavior.

A few figures, just thrown together
The last two figures were obtained using the IBMPopSim package.
