I am a Post-Doc researcher in probability theory mainly interested in its applications in Computer Science.
At Paris-Rocquencourt, I am holder of scholarship from the Foundation Sciences mathématiques
de Paris (FSMP) working mostly in collaboration with Nicolas Broutin. My further scientific career:

• 2013: Post-Doc at the Goethe University of Frankfurt with Ralph Neininger (three months).
• 2012: Post-Doc at the the McGill University of Montreal with Luc Devroye (three months).
• 2007-2012: Post-graduate student at the Goethe University Frankfurt under the supervision of
  Ralph Neininger. Phd obtained in May 2012 (thesis available for download below).
• 2002-2007: Studies in mathematics and theoretical physics at the Goethe University of Frankfurt.
  Diploma obtained in February 2007 under the supervision of Ralph Neininger.

Research Interests

Functional limit laws, Analysis of algorithms, Random discrete structures.
