I am a temporary teaching and research assistant at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. I defended my PhD thesis in applied mathematics at Université Paris-Dauphine, while based at CEREMADE under the supervision of
Guillaume Vigeral.
I also have an M.Sc. in Optimization from Université Paris-Saclay (supervisor
Guillaume Vigeral)
and a B.Sc. in Mathematics from Higher School of Economics (supervisor
Mikhail Skopenkov).
Research interests: zero-sum stochastic games, in discrete and in continuous time; asymptotic value in zero-sum stochastic games.
All published articles are given together with their ArXiv version.
