My research interests are in applied mathematics, theoretical computer science, graph theory, automata theory and air traffic management (ATM).

I am currently participating in the COPTRA project (COmbining Probable TRAjectories), which aims at better predicting uncertainty in ATM by using applied mathematics tools.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in these subjects!
