THEMES OF RESEARCH



• PhD dissertation under way in history and philosophy of mathematics. My research involves the history of enumerative geometry, and the works of Michel Chasles. More broadly, I am interested in the relation between algebra and geometry in the XIXth century, and the concept of symbolic computation.
