Diploma

• HABILITATION in Mathematics, (Habilitation à diriger des recherches), December 2007.
  Dissertation's title: Contribution à l'étude macroscopique des nilvariétés et des géométries de Hilbert.
  Examiners Juan-Carlos Álvarez-Paiva (Université de Lille), Yves Benoist (ENS Paris), Gilles Carron (Université de Nantes).
• PhD in Mathematics, (Thèse de Doctorat), December 2001.
