Miscellaneous
My research interests
I am deeply interested in all kinds of things, and I like to think everything can interest me. However, if I had to pick one thing, it would probably be theoretical computer science, as it feeds me with infinitely many questions to which I will probably never have the answer. But let's try!
Here are the topics on which I focus:
- Graph colouring
- Graph domination and fractional domination
- The use of the probabilistic method

Other interests
Other topics that interest me are culinary arts, music, theatre, and (amateur) astrophysics. I play the bass, and I used to play the violin and the piano when I was younger. I have also practised theatre for 10 years.
I have a culinary arts diploma, and undertook my apprenticeship at Le Moulin Rouge, in Paris.
In case you wonder, here is a list of my favourite dishes and delicacies:
- Mashed potatoes with a lot of butter (salted)
- Gnocchi with sautéed wild mushrooms and vanilla infused crème fraîche
- Baba au rhum, a french dessert consisting of a biscuit infused with (a lot of) rum, and vanilla whipped cream served aside
I listen to various kinds of music, but my preferred bands and artists are probably:
- Muse
- Radiohead
- Peter Gabriel
- Queen
- Chopin
I am also very interested in OSTs, mainly from Hans Zimmer (The Dark Knight, Dune, BladeRunner 2049...), John Williams (Star Wars, E.T, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park...) and Danny Elfman (Alice in Wonderland, Beetlejuice, The Nightmare before Christmas, ...).
