Currently a CNRS researcher at the Bordeaux Astrophysics Laboratory (LAB), I am interested in the understanding of the physics of (extrasolar) planets and brown dwarfs.
More specifically, my research topics include:
- The dynamics of planetary atmospheres and the physics of planetary climates in extreme environments, both through modeling and observational characterization.
- The internal structure of (exo)planets and brown dwarfs, and their evolution in strong interaction with their host star.
- The dynamical and tidal evolution of planetary systems.
NEWS: Opening for a funded PhD position on the study of storms on Uranus and Neptune in the Fall of 2021. Do not hesitate to contact me to apply.
Ouverture d'une thèse financée sur le climat et les orages d'Uranus et Neptune cet automne. Contactez moi si vous voulez candidater.
Je participe aussi régulièrement à des actions de diffusion scientifique à l'intention des plus et moins jeunes. N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez une idée en tête.
As part of the Ariel science advisory team, I am very glad to announce the adoption of the mission by the European Space Agency for a launch in 2029. Do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions.
- Member of the Ariel Science Advisory Team at ESA since 2015.
- Permanent CNRS researcher since October 2015.
- On Feb 2015, I received the Howard Alper prize awarded to the "most outstanding candidate in NSERC's postdoctoral fellowship competition".
- Between 2013 and 2015, I have been a Banting postdoctoral fellow and I have spent my time between the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics and the Center for Planetary Science (both at the University of Toronto, Canada).
- Between 2011 and 2013, I have been working in the planetology team led by Francois Forget at the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France). I received funding from the "Domaine d'Interêt Majeur d'Île de France: Astrophysique et Condition d'Apparition de la Vie (DIM ACAV)."
- In 2011, I completed the PhD degree from the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon in Astronomy and Astrophysics under the supervision of Gilles Chabrier and Isabelle Baraffe at CRAL, France.
- In 2008, I obtained a MSc degree from the École Normale Supérieure (ENS Paris) and the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris (IAP) in fundamental physics, astronomy and astrophysics.
