A researcher in mathematics / computer science in the field of topological data analysis (TDA), particularly interested in the analysis of chromatic point sets.
Currently a postdoc at Inria Centre at Université Côte d’Azur with Mathieu Carrière. Obtained my PhD at Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) advised by Herbert Edelsbrunner.
I plan to add more information, but in the mean time, if you are searching for some information that is not here, feel free to reach out to me!
You can find my two tutorials about Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay tessellations made for AATRN on YouTube. Those classical constructions form a basis for many ideas used in TDA. The first tutorial summarizes what the objects are, the second one explains how a Delaunay tessellation can be computed efficiently.
The visualization I made for the first video is available at Wolfram Demonstrations Project.
One of the main projects I worked on during my PhD is a theoretical background and an implementation of algorithms for "chromatic TDA": a generalization of the standard TDA pipeline for extracting information from point clouds to the setting where the points have colors—e.g., positions of biological cells in a tissue sample, with each point colored red if it is a cancer cell, blue if it is an immune cell, and green if it is an endothelial cell.
I gave an introductory talk to the topic aimed at an audience familiar with the basics of TDA at the AATRN online seminar, which can be found on YouTube.
