Chronology
Since 2025
I am Belgian/Canadian citizen. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in Marc Henneaux's group at Collège de France. I was Jocelyn Bell Burnell fellow at the Perimeter Institute (Canada) from 2021-2025. From 2018 to 2021 I was a postdoctoral researcher and Lise Meitner fellow in the ``Institute of Theoretical Physics'' at TU Wien (Austria). I obtained my PhD in the ``Theoretical and Mathematical Physics'' group at Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium) in June 2018.

Research Interest
My research focuses on symmetries in gauge theories, in particular for gravitational spacetimes with boundaries. In particular I consider leaky boundaries that allow flux to pass through. For instance this flux could be made of gravitons. This has a wide range of applications from (flat) holographic scenarios to the identification of the symmetry principle under which quantum gravity should be organized.
