CV

I grew up in Annecy, nestled in the French Alpes. I did my undergrad in mathematics in Switzerland at EPFL. That is where I first discovered my passion for stable homotopy theory, under the guidance of Kathryn Hess. Her support and encouragement made it possible for me to write my master thesis at MIT, under the supervision of Haynes Miller. I decided to continue my education in the US and pursued a PhD at UIC where my supervisor was Brooke Shipley
