About me

I am a CNRS researcher since fall 2023 and I am hosted at LIMOS, Clermont Auvergne University in Clermont-Ferrand. Previously, I was a Simons Junior Fellow at Columbia University in NYC hosted by Tim Roughgarden. I did my PhD research at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica in Amsterdam under Daniel Dadush and received my doctorate in 2022 from Utrecht University.

In my work, I prove theorems about algorithms. Specifically, I study practical algorithms for (mixed integer) linear programming as you might find them in popular software such as Gurobi, CPLEX, SCIP or HiGHS.

These mathematical optimization tools are used extensively in industry and academia and are very fast in practice. This observation is in contrast with the theory of worst-case analysis, which predicts that these algorithms would be slow. My research aims to narrow this gap between practical observation and theoretical prediction.

Related to the above topic, I am also interested in geometric and combinatorial questions about convex polyhedra.

For an introduction to my work, check out this recorded talk, which is an abbreviated version of my 2024 IPCO Summer School lecture. More information on my professional activities can be found in my CV (150 KB, pdf).

MIP Europe

On July 1-3, 2025 we will organize the inaugural MIP European Workshop in Clermont-Ferrand. Everything you love about the MIP Workshop but now in Europe! Check out the website

IPCO 2024 Summer School

In July 2024 I taught in the IPCO summer school. The slides of these lectures can be found here: Main story (86 MB, pdf), LP duality and F = ma (8 MB, pdf), Mathematical Tables Project (9 MB, pdf), Exercises (6 MB, pdf). An abbreviated version of this lecture I recorded for online.
