During my postdocs
2016-2018: Research Assistant at Freiburg University, Germany (>100 hours)
- I have co-supervised two Master Thesis:
Frank Schäfer: Dynamics and Spectral Structure of Strongly Interacting Bosons in a Double Well
Jonas Mielke: Spectral Structure of the 2D Bose-Hubbard Model Dressed by a Quantized Cavity Field (download)
- Tutoring in Master (in English): Advanced Quantum Mechanics (50 hours)x2 years;
2013-2015: Full time ATER Lecturer at ENS Lyon, France (~280 hours)
Lecturing, tutoring and supervising Licence 3 students and Agrégation of Physics and Chemistry.
Topics: Electromagnetism (Agrégation Chimie, course 18h) x2 years;
Quantum Mechanics (L3, tutorial 30h) x2 years;
Experimental Physics (L3, practical work 36h) x2 years;
Experimental Physics (Agrégation Physique, practical work 40h) x2 years;
Lessons corrector (Agrégation Physique, 16h) x2 years.
During my PhD
2009-2012: Teaching assistant at University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis (~250 hours)
Lecturing, tutoring and supervising Licence 1, 2 and 3 students.
I also created and ensured a numerical simulation lecture for L3 students, see here.
Topics: Mechanics (L1, tutorial 24h, practical work 8h);
Numerical Methods (L3, course 10h, tutorial 24h, practical work 15h) x3 years;
Thermodynamics (L1 SV, tutorial 12h);
Thermodynamics (L1, tutorial 13h) x2 years;
Electromagnetism (L2, Colles 36h).
Mentoring students: I led and supervised 12 pairs of Licence 3 student during two months (x3 years). The aim of these projects was to define and
to propose to students to solve a physics problem by means of numerical simulations. These projects provided the opportunity for students to implement the skills acquired during the lecture and to develop new knowledge.
During my Master
2007-2009: Tutoring at University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis (48 hours)
Tutoring and supervising Licence 1, 2 and 3 students.
Topics: Electromagnetism (L2, tutoring 12h);
Statistical Physics (L3, tutoring 12h);
Thermodynamics (L1 SV, tutoring 12h);
Hydrodynamics (L1 SV, tutoring 12h).
Teaching leadership skills
I created and organized a numerical simulation lecture for L3 students. I was in charge of several tutorials and numerical projects, using and improving my leadership capacities and my abilities to translate my vision into logical, manageable steps that can be understood and approached methodically. I directed undergraduate students in a wide range of Physics phenomena defined by my own initiative. I have also completed management and leadership courses at University.
Social initiative
I am the founding member and I was president of “BDE Physique” club of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, from January 2008 to January 2010. Among others, I partnered with the Physics department to cater closely to the needs of the Physics students. To this end, I established tutorials for the first 3 years in Physics at the University. I took responsibilities and I showed abilities to foster partnerships that maximize achievement of academic students goals. I used to effectively express my ideas to various audiences. I was also actively involded in “Fête de la Science” to represent Physics to
the general public. During my Ph.D., I took the initiative to organize the annual visit of my lab (INLN) and I also represented Ph.Ds. students and Postdocs at INLN during two years.
