Welcome!
I hold a PhD in physical volcanology from the Université de Paris Cité (France). I am now a CNES postdoctoral researcher at the Université Clermont Auvergne. I use 1-D models of volcanic columns and 2-D models of tephra dispersal, satellite data, laboratory experiments and field data to better understand the dynamics of explosive volcanic eruptions, and to assess volcanic hazards related to these events. Geologist by training, I collected and interpreted my own field data in order to reconstruct the eruptive history of the Mount Pelée (Martinique, Lesser Antilles). Passionate by volcanology since my childhood, my main goal is to link academic research and societal challenges through volcanic hazard assessment (especially in insular context).
Skim through my research and publications pages to learn more about what I do. I also consider the communication between researchers and the population a matter of great importance, so please have a look at my outreach page. Finally, I am passionate about travel and photography: let your mind wander here!

Phd award ccr cat nat 2020
I received in June 2020 the PhD award CCR Cat Nat for my thesis entitled: "Dynamics of Plinian eruptions: re-assessment of volcanic hazard in Martinique".
The purpose of the CCR Cat Nat PhD award is to reward a doctoral thesis in the area of natural disasters with a potential application to the insurance industry and the prevention of risks. The thesis has to demonstrate innovative, detailed and original research and provide insight on the theoretical aspects and practical issues associated with the thesis topic.
The Prix CCR Cat Nat is open in the European area and the winner is chosen by a jury composed of university academics, research and insurance sector experts and CCR representatives.
