Since 2018, I am assistant professor at IMT Atlantique (Nantes Campus) in the department of industrial Automation, production and informatic (DAPI), and in the REV team (Robotics inspired by living animals ) in the LS2N laboratory (UMR 6004).
I am engineer in fluid mechanics (ENSEEIHT Toulouse, 2010) and doctor in Physics (ENS Paris, 2013).
I perform experiments in fluid mechanics and non-linear physics applied to natural sciences (biology, astrophysics..) or industrial technologies (nuclear safety, robotic..).
Now , my researches focus on bio-inspired technologies and soft-robotics
