Short CV

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

July 2017 - Present

CNRS researcher (www.cnrs.fr) in the CIRIMAT laboratory at Université Paul Sabatier (www.cirimat.cnrs.fr) working on developing multi-scale models to describe energy storage materials. This work is done in collaboration with the Réseau sur le Stockage Électrochimique de l'Énergie (www.energie-rs2e.com/en).

October 2013 – June 2017

Post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge (www.ch.cam.ac.uk), developing a new simulation method to examine the complex electrode/electrolyte interface in supercapacitors in strong association with in situ NMR experiments. Working in the group of Pr. Clare Grey (www-grey.ch.cam.ac.uk) in collaboration with the group of Pr. Daan Frenkel (www-frenkel.ch.cam.ac.uk).

October 2010 – September 2013

PhD in the PECSA laboratory (Physicochimie des Electrolytes, Colloïdes et Sciences Analytiques, www.pecsa.upmc.fr) working on realistic models of ion adsorption in carbon micropores through state of the art molecular dynamics simulations, supervisor: Dr. M. Salanne; head of the laboratory: Pr. P. Levitz.

Academic visits during the PhD:

CIRIMAT laboratory, Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse: experimental electrochemical characterisations of carbon/carbon supercapacitors. Susan Perkin's group, University of Oxford : discussions about the utilisation of a surface force apparatus for the study of the mica/ionic liquid interface.

February 2010 – August 2010

Six-month research internship in the MML at the University of Oxford (Materials Modelling Laboratory, mml.materials.ox.ac.uk), working on molecular dynamics of molten fluorides on the one hand, and molten silicates on the other hand; supervisor: Pr. P. Madden; head of the laboratory: Pr. N. Marzari.

March 2009 - August 2009

Six-month research internship in the Structural Bioinformatics laboratory in the Pasteur Institute (www.pasteur.fr/recherche/unites/Binfs). Working on the dynamics of a histidine kinase (DesK) using classic and targeted molecular dynamics; supervisor and head of the laboratory: Dr. M. Nilges.

November 2008

Research internship in the LI2C laboratory (laboratoire des Liquides Ioniques et Interfaces Chargées) at UPMC (www.pecsa.upmc.fr), working on molecular simulation of the molten salts LiF and KF. Learning about the theory of molecular dynamics and about the software used in simulation; supervisor: Dr. M. Salanne; head of the laboratory: Pr.V. Cabuil
