Gavin Jay SealAfter completing my studies at the University of Geneva, and obtaining a PhD from the Free University of Brussels, I went on to complete postdocs at York University in Toronto and McGill University in Montreal. Following a on-year position as Temporary Assistant Professor at Georgia Southern University in the United States, I integrated Kathryn Hess research group at the EPFL in 2009 thanks to a Marie-Curie International Reintegration Grant. I taught the Geometry and Mathematics courses to the architects from 2012 to 2014, and since 2012 I have been teaching mathematics for the talented youth at the Euler course.
