About Me

I'm a Ph.D. student in theoretical computer science (ie. math) in Montreal (Quebec) and Paris (France). I'm currently living in Montreal.

I like to think that I'm a friendly, open-minded and easygoing guy. I like to read, learn languages, travel the world as much as I can, meet new people, cook, drink beer, go camping, and much more

Some topics I'm (intellectually-wise) interested in: politics, history, languages, actuality, social movements, animal rights, education and mathematics. I'm pretty curious by nature and will definitely want to discuss and learn about other stuff!
