#heading(level: 2, numbering: none)[Acknowledgments]

// Directeurs de thèse / WTO
First of all, I would like to thank my advisors, Vincent #smallcaps("Charvillat"), Axel #smallcaps("Carlier"), and Géraldine #smallcaps("Morin") for luring me into doing a PhD (which was a lot of work), for the support, and for the fun (and beers). // TODO \footnote{drink responsibly}
I took _a little time_ to take the decision of starting a PhD, so I also want to thank them for their patience.
I also want to thank Wei Tsang OOI, for the ideas, the discussions and for the polish during the deadlines.

// Reviewers / membres du jury
Then, I want to thank Sidonie #smallcaps("Christophe") and Gwendal #smallcaps("Simon") for reviewing this manuscript: I appreciated the feedback and constructive comments.
I also want to thank all the members of the jury, for their attention and the interesting discussions during the defense.

// Potes
I want to thank all the kids of the lab and elsewhere that contributed to the mood (and beers): Bastien, Vincent, Julien, Sonia, Matthieu, Jean, Damien, Richard, Thibault, Clément, Arthur, Thierry, the other Matthieu, the other Julien, Paul, Maxime, Quentin, Adrian, Salomé. // \footnote{I mean, seriously, drink responsibly}
I also want to thank Praveen: working with him was a pleasure.

// Permanents
I would also like to thank the big ones (whom I forgot to thank during the defense, _oopsies_), Sylvie, Jean-Denis, Simone, Yvain, Pierre.
They, as well as my advisors, not only helped during my PhD, but they also were my teachers back in engineering school and are a great part of the reason why I enjoyed being in school and being a PhD student.

Then, I also want to thank Sylvie and Muriel, for the administrative parts of the PhD, which can often be painful.

// Potes n7
I would also like to thank the colleagues from when I was in engineering school, since they contributed to the skills that I used during this PhD: Alexandre, Killian, David, Maxence, Martin, Maxime, Korantin, Marion, Amandine, Émilie.

// Famille
Finally, I want to thank my brother, my sister and my parents, for the support and guidance.
They have been decisive to my education and I would not be writing this today if it was not for them.
