Personal information

I'm a graduate student in algebraic topology, under the supervision of Professor Haynes Miller.

I completed an M.Sc. in mathematics at the Université de Montréal in 2005, supervised by François Lalonde.

Here is my CV.

Research interests

I'm interested in algebraic topology, homotopy theory, and other fields with a topological flavor. My current interests are focused on the realization of Pi-algebras, Quillen cohomology, algebraic models for homotopy n-types, obstruction-theoretic methods, and some related questions in homological and homotopical algebra.

Here is my research statement.
