Internships

2025

Turku university

Visiting researcher, working with Ville Salo

  • Working on the arithmetical complexity of the sensitivity problem for cellular automata
  • In our recent preprint, we answered Sablik and Theyssier's question, showing that the sensitivity problem is Pi^0_2-complete in one dimension and Sigma^0_3-complete in higher dimension.
2024

CEA (hight commision for nuclear energy)

Research engineer intern

  • Study of a software for sodium/water reaction.
  • Some difference on floating point operation with different version of libc here.
2023/2024

LORIA/INRIA

Master 1 project at Mines Nancy Engineering school, working with Mathieu Hoyrup

  • First experience in academic research.
  • We develop a theory of local generation for tiling. In our first preprint, we developed tools to prove that a subshift is or is not locally generable. In our second preprint, we used those tools to classify even bicolor tilesets.
