Research My research interests lie in the fields of fundamental fluid mechanics and physics of complex systems, motivated by geophysical, astrophysical and environmental applications. My recent research focuses on rapidly rotating convection thought to be the driving mechanism of planetary dynamos, doubly-diffusive convection at play in the oceans and in stars, and wave turbulence in different systems.

My approach relies equally on analytical methods, numerical tools and laboratory experiments, with the goal of characterizing in simple models the basic mechanisms at play in apparently complex or chaotic dynamics.
A little bit about myself

Since 2021, I joined the LMFA (Laboratoire de Mécanique des Fluides et d'Acoustique) at École Centrale Lyon as a CNRS researcher. Page in construction, more details soon.

Between 2018 and 2021, I worked at SPEC (Service de Physique de l'Etat Condensé) at CEA Saclay as a postdoctoral researcher with Dr. Basile Gallet. Page in construction, more details soon.

Between 2014 and 2018, I was a Post-doctoral researcher in the Applied Mathematics Department of the University of Colorado at Boulder where I worked with Prof. Keith Julien, also in collaboration with Prof. Edgar Knobloch and Dr. Jin-Han Xie from the Physics Department of UC Berkeley.

Before that I was a Post-doctoral researcher in the Rotating Geophysical Flows research group at CNRS laboratory IRPHE (Marseille, France) where I worked with Dr. Patrice Meunier and Dr. Stephane Le Dizes between 2013 and 2014.

I obtained my PhD in 2013 under the supervision of Prof. Nicolas Mordant in the Non Linear Physics research group (Prof. Stephan Fauve) , part of the Laboratoire de Physique Statistique (Ecole Normale Superieure and UPMC, Paris).
