Research topics

I am an experimental chemist, specialized in the search and evolution of organic matter beyond earth. My researches are related to the origin of organic matter in our solar system and to the question of the origin of life on Earth. Particularly I am interested on the organic-mineral interactions, which takes place in all extraterrestrial environnments, either in solid or liquid phases in different conditions (temperature, salts, pressure, irradiations). 

My main topics are described in three major themes and the ANR project ORGAMISS : 

-Interstellar ices

-Aqueous alteration of organic matter in solar system objects

-The organic matter of Ceres

-ANR ORGAMISS
