Ph.D.

I did my doctoral studies at Université de Toulouse III from 2008 to 2011 under the supervision of Jean-Marc Schlenker. Ph.D. thesis: The symplectic geometry of the deformation space of complex projective structures on a surface.

Mathematical software

I have been working on two computer projects in relation to my research:

Circle Packings

This software created by Benjamin Beeker and myself computes and shows circle packings and Riemann conformal mappings.

Read more in the "Software" section here.

Hitchin

This is an ongoing project with Jonah Gaster.

This software computes and shows equivariant harmonic maps from the hyperbolic plane $\mathbb{H}^2$ to hyperbolic 3-space $\mathbb{H}^3$ (or in the future, more general symmetric spaces).

Notes

1. Minimal surfaces and quasi-Fuchsian structures.
Notes written for my participation in the workshop Higgs bundles and harmonic maps that was held in Asheville, NC in Januray 2015, organized by Brian Collier, Qiongling Li and Andy Sanders and supported by the NSF GEAR Network. Download.

Mathematics Colloquium & Teichmüller Theory Seminar

I am organizing the Mathematics Colloquium at Rugers-Newark: see dedicated web page.

I am co-organizing the Teichmüller Theory Seminar at Rugers-Newark with Jane Gilman and John Loftin: see dedicated web page.

Workshop on Analytic Aspects of Higher Teichmüller Theory

I am co-organizing the Workshop on Analytic Aspects of Higher Teichmüller Theory in September 2016 at Rugers-Newark with Zeno Huang and John Loftin: see dedicated web page.
