About

I am a PhD student interested in mathematical models for population dynamics. My advisors are Raphaël Forien, François Hamel and Lionel Roques

I work on deterministic models based on the Fisher-KPP equation. I am often led to study the principal eigenvalue of an elliptic operator. I also try to see the PDEs that I study from a probabilistic perspective.

I am a member of the ANR project ReaCH and of the Chaire MMB (Modélisation Mathématique et Biodiversité).

 

Research interests :
  • Reaction-diffusion equations
  • Principal eigenvalue of elliptic operators
  • Probabilistic point of view of PDEs
  • Population dynamics
  • Population genetics
