Diplomas

After an initial training in mathematics and computer sciences, I took a master degree in history and philosophy of sciences, before focusing on the history of mathematics for my PhD.

Since 2023

PhD

Université Paris Cité

I am currently in the third year of the preparation of my PhD in history and philosophy of mathematics in the SPHERE laboratory, and the doctoral school 623—Savoirs, Sciences, Éducation.

Temporary title
Instrumented computations in the Treatise on the Albion (14th century Oxford and St. Albans)
Supervisors
Agathe Keller & Matthieu Husson
Summary
The Treatise on the Albion was composed in 1326–1327 by the Benedictine monk Richard of Wallingford, during the last year of his stay in the University of Oxford. This text presents an instrument, called al[l]-by-on[e], which merges in one circular brass layout all the materials needed to carry out pretty much any computation useful in astronomy and trigonometry. The goal of my dissertation is to study the practices of instrumented computation described in this text, focusing mostly on the English manuscripts from the 14th century.

Bachelor

Université Paris Cité

I have a bachelor in mathematics from Université Paris Cité, but I also followed courses in computer sciences up to the second year in Université Paris 7—Denis Diderot

2018–2021

Bachelor degree in mathematics

I got my bachelor degree in Mathematics from the Université Paris Cité in 2021. This training helped me acquire ground skills in Linear Algebra, Calculus, Probability, as well as good notions of Topology, etc.

2015–2018

Double-bachelor training program in Mathematics and Computer Sciences

After a scientific baccalaureate, I started a double training in Mathematics and Computer Sciences at University Paris 7—Diderot. This training gave me skills in theoretical computer sciences (theory of programming languages, Automata theory, formal proofs, etc.) with applications mostly made with the Java programming language. I left this program after the second year to focus on Mathematics.

Courses
Programming Operating systems Web development Relational algebra Theory of programming languages Algorithms

Doctoral training

As part of my doctoral training, I often attend to multiple seminars, mostly held in the SPHERE laboratory. I will quote especially the doctroal seminar, the History of Science, History of Texts seminar, and the Reading ancient mathematical texts seminar. I also occasionnaly attend other seminars, like the seminar of history and philosophy of mathematics in the 19th–20th centuries, the Codes sources seminar in the LIP6 laboratory, or the seminar of philology of the astral sciences held at the IRHT.

Ongoing seminars

Histoire des sciences, histoire du texte | Since 2022 (SPHERE)

The History of Science, History of Texts seminar is a monthly seminar where each session hosts three presentations of two hours each. It allows rather free exchanges during the whole length of the presentations, with a particular interest for the way “texts” (understood in a broad meaning, including diagrams, layouts, paratexts, etc.) produce and express scientific practices. The talks are not reduced to any linguistic, geographic, chronological or disciplinary boundaries, to focus on the analysis of textual phenomena involved in scientific activities, and on the ways we, as historians of science, can apprehend these phenomena.

Histoire et philosophie des mathématiques | Since 2023 (SPHERE)

The History and Philosophy of Mathematics seminar is the main seminar of the eponymous axis of the SPHERE laboratory. As it's name says, it welcomes presentations both in history and philosophy of mathematics, regardless of the period or the linguistic origin of the sources.

Lecture de textes mathématiques anciens | Since 2023 (SPHERE)

Each session of the Reading Ancient Mathematical Texts Seminar opens with the short presentation of a primary source and the mathematical problems it raises, followed by the reading of this source, provided with an edition and a translation. One reading typically lasts 3 hours, mostly filled with constant exchanges where any naive question is welcomed. This allows us to think about the linguistic composition of the text, its philology, etc. I believe the value of this seminar is mostly to un-understand (that is, to “durstand”) the texts, and to bring to light many unsuspected questions they hold. Three hours is never enough to read large chunks of text, but taking this time always brings very rich and inspiring discussions. This richness comes, not only from the intrinsic value of the sources presented, but also by the diversity of participants, with both experienced researchers and beginner students who can bring their expertise based on diverse sources, and who always invite us to look at the texts with new and original perspectives.

Séminaire doctoral interdisciplinaire dʼhistoire, philosophie et sociologie des sciences (DISc) | Since 2023 (SPHERE)

The Interdisciplinary seminar in History, Philosophy and Sociology of Sciences (DISc) is a collaborative space for PhD students of the SPHERE laboratory. We question and discuss methodological approaches used in history, philosophy, epistemology and sociology of sciences. Each session is articulated around one theme related to the works of PhD students in the laboratory.

Séminaire Codes sources (only at certain times) | LIP6 & AHP

The Codes Sources Seminar proposes to explore source codes as fully-fleshed textual objects. The aim is to analyse programs as texts, and to see how “computational thinking” is shaped through them.

Mathématiques 19e-20e siècles (only at certain times) | SPHERE

The History and Philosophy of Mathematics from 19th to 21th centuries seminar deals with recent, or even contemporary, history and philosophy of mathematics. In this group, I am particularly interested in one project related to the history and philosophy of proofs and computations.

(2026–2026) Roger Bacon Reading Seminar | SPHERE

Le séminaire de lecture des Communia Mathematica de Roger Bacon, organisé par Clelia Crialesi et Yael Kedar en 2025–2026, propose chaque mois de se pencher sur l'une des distinctio qui composent les deux parties des Communia Mathematica de Roger Bacon (c. 1220–1292). Chaque distinctio est présentée par un chercheur ou une chercheuse. Ce séminaire est l'occasion pour moi de me familiariser avec la philosophie de cet auteur, dont les thèses étaient encore influentes à Oxford au temps de Richard de Wallingford.

(2024–2025) Paléographie des manuscrits astronomiques et astrologiques + Philologie des sciences astrales | IRHT

L'atelier de paléographie des manuscrits astronomiques et astrologiques organisé par Eleonora Andriani à l'IRHT, puis le séminaire de Philologie des sciences astrales , ont été l'occasion de me former aux enjeux liés à la paléographie des manuscrits astronomiques et astrologiques rédigés en latin entre le xiii et le xve siècles.

(2023–2024) Atelier de philologie et de critique textuelle : théorie et pratique | IRHT

L'atelier de philologie et de critique textuelle organisé à l'Institut de recherche sur l'histoire des textes par Elisa Lonati, Jérémy Delmulle et Silverio Franzoni a été l'occasion pour moi de m'initier aux théories et aux méthodes de la philologie et de la critique textuelle, et aux questions actuelles qui traversent cette discipline.

(2024–2025) History of astronomical diagrams | EIDA

Le séminaire d'histoire des diagrammes astronomiques organisé à l'observatoire de Paris dans le cadre du projet EIDA a pour vocation de discuter de différentes manières d'approcher l'histoire des différents diagrammes produits, en particulier, dans le cadre de pratiques mathématiques et astronomiques à différentes périodes. Le séminaire a en partie pris la forme de présentation d'articles, issus aussi bien des champs de la philosophie, de l'histoire de l'art et de l'histoire des sciences. La seconde année du séminaire a plutôt donné lieu à des présentations basées sur l'analyse de sources manuscrites, tirés de documents rédigés en latin, arabe, grec, turc et persan. Trois conférences ont également été organisées dans le cadre du projet, avec des contributions qui ont permis d'apporter également un éclairage tiré de sources en chinois et en sanskrit.

(2023–2025) Digital Humanities | EIDA

The Digital Humanities seminar of the είδα project was a place to share experiences with different tools related to digital humanities, such as TEI Publisher, Heurist, Inkscape, and the eida/aikon platform.

Training sessions by the doctoral schools

The doctoral school requires PhD students to follow at least 100 hours of training during their thesis.

SCO14 — Science ouverte. Gérer ses données de recherche :quel intérêt pour un jeune chercheur ?

This training was taking place as part as a cycle organized by Université Paris Cité's university library for Open Sciences. It was an occasion to familiarize myself with the tools and stakes for the management of research data, and with the diverse forms these data can take. This training led me in particular to think about how to manage data produced during my own research before they come to be included in my dissertation. For instance, how to manage bibliographical information, transcriptions, and all the preparatory works for translations, all of which are not necessarily going to appear in published texts.
