About
Since February 2024, I am a Research Assistant at McGill University. I have completed my PhD in Mathematics (defended in August 2023) under the supervision of Jean-Christophe Nave. I wrote a master thesis in Applied Mathematics (2018) at Polytechnique Montreal. I did a BScE (2017) at Polytechnique Montreal in Engineering Physics. I did my classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles in mathématiques supérieures and mathématiques spéciales (2010-2013) at Louis-Le-Grand. I was born in Senegal where I grew up before leaving for France and then Canada.

Research interests
A central focus of my work is to uncover and formalize the intrinsic connections between structure-preserving discretizations of differential operators and their discrete analogues. I have developed a unique expertise that bridges classical analytical and numerical techniques, such as finite differences, finite elements, and spectral methods, with modern frameworks from operator theory, C*-algebras, and noncommutative geometry.
