Hello! I am a PhD student in the CASH team at LIP (ENS de Lyon, France), under the supervision of Christophe Alias.

My interest are compilers and parallel paradigms. Thus, I am particularly interested in providing helpful algorithms for compilers to generate efficient code on modern parallel architectures.

My current research focus on exploring static analysis for programs manipulating sparse matrices, using the polyhedral model. It is part of the PEPR Numpex program.

Before starting my PhD, I completed my studies at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Informatique pour l’Industrie et l’Entreprise (ENSIIE) in France, with a focus on High Performance Computing.
