About

I am currently a postodoctoral fellow working at the University of California San Diego, in the Soft Condensed Matter lab of Pr. Jeremie Palacci. My research focuses on the understanding and control of self-assembly and self-organization phenomena in collections of active micro-particles. I use optical tools integrated in custom-built microscopes to image, manipulate, and build colloidal architectures.

I obtained my PhD in 2015 at the Universite Claude Bernard Lyon 1, in the 'Luminescence' team of Pr. Christophe Dujardin,and in collaboration with the 'Photonic Nanostructures and Materials' team of Pr. Joel Bellessa. During my PhD, I studied the influence of the local dielectric environment on the luminescence properties of single nanoparticles.

Research Profile

I am an experimentalist with a multidisciplinary background in nano-optics and (non-equilibrium) soft matter physics. I aim at bringing original experiments in the active matter community using advanced optical techniques to extract physical information and gain control over the design of dissipative structures.
