During my postdocs

            - 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;

            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

            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

            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.
