Research interests

I work in Affine Algebraic Geometry and I am specifically interested in the following topics:
  • Affine surfaces with additive group actions (notably Danielewski surfaces)
  • Polynomial automorphisms of affine spaces
  • Embedding Problem, Abhyankar-Sathaye Conjecture and Cancellation Problem
  • Exotic algebraic structures on affine spaces
  • Locally nilpotent derivations

I have defended my Ph.D. Thesis "Sur les plongements des hypersurfaces de Danielewski" on June 2008 at the Institut de Mathématiques de Bourgogne.
The manuscript (in french) is available here or on the TEL server.
Seminar Algebra and Geometry of the mathematics institute of Basel.
