I am full professor in Computer Science at Polytech Montpellier, engineering school of the University of Montpellier. From September 2008 to August 2017, I was associate professor (« maître de conférences ») at the MIAp department of the University Paul-Valéry, Montpellier 3.
I am head of the Transversal Computer Science Department (« Pôle Informatique Transversal ») of Polytech Montpellier. I teach information technology and network tools, databases, algorithms, computer programming, and graph theory.
I am member of the Algorithms on Graphs & Combinatorics group of the LIRMM.
My research topics are mainly focused on homomorphisms and graph colorings, vertex partitions, discharging methods, and recently on combinatorics on words.
I was co-head of the Computer Science Department of the LIRMM from January 2020 to September 2023 and have been its head since October 2023.
