Personal presentation

Research is a bit like fishing. You don't really know why you started neither why you liked it, but now, you can never stop doing it, and every bit of subject is fascinating. And I wanted to start fishing really early. I did my PhD between the ENS de Lyon, in France, and the Perimeter Institute in Canada, under the supervision of Etera Livine and Bianca Dittrich. While I started doing quantum gravity in the LQG framework, I am know interested in every possible approaches to quantum gravity. From the more usual approaches to quantum information, condensed matter and hydrodynamics to cite a few, I believe that the key to (partially :)) solved quantum gravity lies in a more unified scientific community. Therefore, I aim to apply interdisciplinary approaches to quantum gravity in toy model in two and three dimensions to deepen our understanding of (quantum) gravity.
