Profile
I have defended my PhD in Earth science from ENS Lyon (France) in 2014. Since I have held several postdoctoral positions (USA, France, UK) to work on various project related to deep planetary interiors.
Research interests
My research focuses on the dynamic and the evolution of the deep interior of planets (Earth, Mercury, Mars, icy satellites), using a multidisciplanary approach which cover material sciences, earth sciences and fluid dynamics.
I have performed many experiments of fluid dynamics from the crystallisation of salty water to compressible convection of gases.
I have also conducted several work using theoretical and numerical approaches to investigate the evolution of planetary cores (from the nucleation of the first atoms to the large scale crystallisation). My numerical simulations (convection or dynamo) have used to decipher for example the mixing between silicates and metal during the accretion processes.
