Academic life

Outreach

“Ugh! You do math in your daily life! How can you?” I usually get that. But hey, math is a lot of fun. At least, I believe so. This is the idea I try to defend to the general public through discussions and… outreach!

I regularly take part in the MATh.en.JEANS project that aims at initiating high school students to scientific research, mentality, and collaboration.

I sometimes provide help during activities organized by Liège’s Math à Modeler directed by Michel Rigo. Math à Modeler was created in Grenoble (France), and aims at initiating the general public to scientific research and mathematics through games inspired by problems in discrete mathematics.

In October 2025, I co-supervised the French project « Les Cigales » in Marseille. It is a one-week camp focused on mathematics and computer science where female high-school students are introduced to the world of research through open problems. But it’s not only about science! It’s also a deeply human experience where I meet talented young people. Click here to see the article (in French) about the October edition!

Other duties at ULiège

I am part of the Department of Mathematics’ Council and the Faculty of Sciences’ Council.

In 2016-2019, I was an active member of ULiège’s PhD candidates network (called ReD), providing help as a logistics coordinator.
