I am a CNRS researcher within the SARA team at LAAS and the SOLACE team in Toulouse, France.

Between 2019 and 2022, I was a postdoctoral researcher and then an assistant professor in the Stochastic Operations Research group at the Eindhoven University of Technology. I completed my PhD in Computer Science from 2016 to 2019 at Télécom Paris and Nokia Bell Labs, where I was supervised by Thomas Bonald and Fabien Mathieu. During this period, I was hosted at the Laboratory of Information, Networking, and Communication Sciences (LINCS) in Paris.

📣 PhD Opening
With Gersende Fort, we are looking for a PhD student with a strong background in applied probability (especially Markov chains) and proficiency in scientific computing software such as Python and Julia. An experience on stochastic optimization is also appreciated but not mandatory. More information in this document.

📣 Product-Form Probability Distributions
The Product-Form Probability Distributions workshop will be held on May 20–23, 2025, at Eurandom, Eindhoven, the Netherlands. This is a joint effort with Agnieszka Janicka and Richard Boucherie, with the support of Eurandom.

Research interests

Stochastic networks, queueing theory, product-form queueing networks, reinforcement learning, exponential families, online stochastic matching, datacenters, communication networks
