Clément Legrand – Duchesne

LaBRI clement.legrand-duchesne@uj.edu.pl

I am a postdoctoral fellow at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland.

I am broadly interested in combinatorics and graph theory, with a special fondness for reconfiguration and problems with a geometric flavor. In particular, a significant part of my work focuses on colorings and Kempe changes. I completed my PhD in July 2024 at LaBRI in Bordeaux under the supervision of Marthe Bonamy and Vincent Delecroix. My manuscript is accessible here.

Interests

I practice bouldering and rock climbing several times a week and I play ultimate frisbee. I enjoy cross-country unicycle and board sports of all kinds. When the weather is not good enough for those activities, I like to read sci-fi or fantasy, to cook or to play classical guitar.
