My research is in the field of theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics. I am particularly interested in computational geometry, the branch of computer science devoted to the design and analysis of algorithms for problems involving geometric data. I also enjoy thinking about purely combinatorial structures such as graphs and partially ordered sets, most often with computational issues in mind. Some of my earlier works deal with data compression and problems in information theory.
I obtained my PhD from ULB in 2001, with a fellowship from the FNRS, after spending some time at the University of Washington. I have held visiting professorships at various institutions since then, the most recent ones being ETH Zurich and Université Sorbonne Paris Nord. See my CV for more details.
I enjoy collaborative research, and met many of my coauthors at research workshops around the world, such as the Annual workshop on geometry and graphs, the Order and geometry workshop, or Gremo's workshop on open problems.
My papers can be found on DBLP, ArXiv, Google Scholar, and our local repository DI-fusion. Here are some recent contributions:
