I am a second-year PhD student in Applied Mathematics, in particular mathematical optimization. My topic is the aggregation of flexibilities in long-term unit commitment problems, applying tools from operations research and mean-field theory to understand and improve current aggregation techniques in the use cases of electric vehicles and hydro installations.

I am currently affiliated to EDF R&D, OSIRIS department, as well as the GHOST (Grenoble) and TROPICAL (Saclay) Inria teams and supervised by Nicolas Gast, Stéphane Gaubert, Bruno Gaujal and Olivier Beaude. My PhD is part of the Défi INRIA-EDF.
