Background
  • Computer Science researcher (CNRS) at LAMSADE, part of Université Paris Dauphine - PSL. I'm a CNRS chargé de recherche, which is a permanent research position. I work on computational social choice, studying voting rules and preference aggregation, and designing fair algorithms. My main focus is on designing decision procedures that provide proportional representation, where each voter has equal influence on the outcome.
Miscellany
