Mathematics
My research consists in the
study of higher algebraic structures, often with the help of discrete
geometry and the theory of (fiber) polytopes. A recent and important part
of my work is the study of the Kashiwara–Vergne problem from the operadic
perspective. My past and present work touches to the areas of algebraic
topology, higher category theory, categorical symplectic geometry, quantum
algebra, as well as discrete geometry and algebraic combinatorics.

Theses
In the 3rd chapter, I tried to give the
intuition of operads as « treelike » generalization of associative
algebras. Section 2.6 and the beginning of Chapter 4 try to give the
intuition for associative algebras up to homotopy and their tensor
product.
