Education

I first studied in Toulouse and then in Paris. I received the diploma degree in Mathematics from the University of Paris 6 in 2001, with a specialisation in Numerical Analysis for my Master. I also spent one year (1999-2000) preparing the high school teaching diploma in Mathematics (Agrégation de Mathématiques) at the University Paris 11 (Orsay). I obtained the diploma in 2000. I pursued a Ph.D. (2001-2004) under the supervision of C.Le Bris and M.Schoenauer. I obtained the Dr. Mathematics degree from the University Paris 6 in 2004. Afterwards, I worked for two years (2004-2006) as a postdoctoral researcher at ETH (in Zurich) in the Computational Laboratory (CoLab). Since October 1, 2006, I have been back to France where I am working as a permanent researcher at INRIA in the TAO project.

Research Interests

My main research focus is optimization and particulary numerical optimization by means of stochastic search algorithms. I want to understand those algorithms, improve existing or develop new methods and I strongly care about practice: I am not too much interested in proving convergence of methods that are irrelevant in practice and I care very much about convergence rates.
