Welcome! I am a CNRS researcher in theroretical physics, currently leading the "Quantum Theory, Atoms and Fields" group at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel in Paris.
If you are interested in our work or wish to join us, please feel free to contact me.
Non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum fluids - The many-body physics of quantum gases in out-of-equilibrium states is a fundamental theoretical challenge, at the crossroads of quantum and statistical physics. I aim to investigate theoretically the quench dynamics of interacting quantum fluids, especially phenomena such as pre-thermalization, dynamic scaling in quenches across phase transitions, and quantum thermalization.
Disordered quantum gases- With the recent progresses in atom optics, it is now possible to experimentally explore the behavior of cold atomic gases in optical potentials in a highly controlled manner. In this context, I study salient manifestations of interference in the dynamics of quantum gases in random potentials, such as weak or strong (Anderson ) localization, as well as their interplay with interactions.
Light scattering in disordered media and atomic vapors - Light propagating in random media undergoes a multiple scattering process which gives rise to a rich optical phenomenology. Examples include wave localization effects, induced dipole-dipole coupling in dense materials, or optical spin-Hall effects, which I have explored in the recent years.
