Research Interests

My research interests are in graph theory. In particular, I am interested in structural graph theory, random graphs,
probabilistic methods and combinatorial and randomized graph algorithms. In recent years I have also
become interested and have done some work in other areas of computer science such as social networks and social choice.


Editorial

Associate Editor of Annals of Combinatorics.

Research Grants

I am the PI of the French ANR JC research grant DAGDigDec.
