Research I am a PhD student in Institut Jean le Rond d'Alembert with Basile Audoly. I am developing a numerical framework based on libmesh to study the behaviour of thin elastic structures. My work is thus both theoritical and numerical.
As every PhD student I learn quite a lot during my everyday's work, and I'll try to share the things I think useful for others on the tips page of my website.
Teaching I will be a teaching assistant in math for senior mechanical engineering undergrads.

 We introduce a class of continuum shell structures, the Buckliball, which undergoes folding induced by buckling under pressure loading.
