About

As an Astrophysicist, my main research focus on understanding and studying fluid dynamics, and particularly waves and convection, in stellar interiors and planetary atmospheres from a theoretical and numerical point of view. To carry out my research on stellar interiors, I am using the multi-dimensional hydrodynamical fully compresible MUSIC code as well as asteroseimic data. I am mostly interested in low mass and intermediate-mass stars, from main-sequence to the asymptotic giant branch. Concerning planetary atmospheres, I am running simulations using the Generic Planetary Circulation Model to study the Ice giants, Neptune and Uranus. I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the at the Astrophysics Department of CEA-Saclay. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at LMD/IPSL.

I was awarded a PhD from the University of Exeter in June 2023, supervised by Prof. Isabelle Baraffe and Dr. Thomas Guillet. I obtained a MSc in Astronomy & Astrophysics from Sorbonne Université and Paris Observatory in 2019 and a MEng from Ecole Centrale de Lyon in 2018.
