I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Computer Science Institute at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University, where I am fortunate to be working with Robert Šámal. Prior to this I was a postdoctoral researcher at Inria center of Université de Lorraine in Nancy. I was part of the Gamble team of Loria working with Xavier Goaoc. I was also fortunate to be hosted for a part of this postdoctoral position by Andreas Holmsen at IBS and KAIST in Daejeon, South Korea.

I did my PhD at Université Gustave Eiffel, working under the supervision of Alfredo Hubard and Arnaud de Mesmay. I defended my thesis on November 27, 2023. In my PhD, I studied graphs embedded on surfaces and their decompositions. You can find my PhD thesis here.
