Co-head (with D. Smets) of master degree High-Performance Computing (joint degree between the computer science and mathematics departments)
I enjoy teaching algorithms, especially those acting on mathematical objects, and programming. Recently, I give courses at Master Parisien de Recherche en Informatique (MPRI) on polynomial system solving through computer algebra methods.
