She then entered the CNRS and worked at the Paul-Painlevé Laboratory of the University of Lille I until 2016, when she joined the IHÉS as detached CNRS researcher. [2]
In 2015, she was awarded the CNRS Bronze Medal and an ERC starting grant the following year. [3] In 2018, she was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Rio de Janeiro; her lecture was on "Geometric structures and representations of discrete groups".
