I am a PhD student (started in 2015) at IRIF under the direction of Nicolas Schabanel in the Distributed Algorithms and Graphs Team. My main work focuses on Dynamic Clustering and communication complexity.

I am a member of the Random Sample Voting Project, where I am responsible for the development of the RSV simulator. I'm in the process of publishing a book on the use of randomness in politics.

I am part of the POP Special Exploratory Committee, a new political party/platform where we seek to implement real-time democracy.

Our crypto/UI experiment with Ted Selker is now over, thanks for your participation.
