About me
I am a Deep Earth geophysicist and fluid dynamicist, interested in waves in planetary cores, turbulent convection and dynamo magnetic fields. For my research, I have developed novel mathematical/numerical methods and use DNS (using open-source codes running on massively parallel supercomputers). I am also opened to any scientific collaborations for which my expertise would be useful. For instance, I often collaborate with data scientists (e.g. geophysicists, experimentalists or astronomers) to confront theoretical/numerical predictions with observations. Recently, I started a collaboration with the mathematician Prof. Y. Colin de Verdière (thanks to the intermediary of Dr B. Valette and the French academician Prof. M. Campillo).
I am currently Research Fellow in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (CNRS, France). Before the COVID, I was Research Fellow in Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics (University of Leeds, UK). In 2018, I defended my Ph.D. in Université Grenoble Alpes (France). I notably studied the dynamics of rotating flows enclosed within triaxial ellipsoids and driven by orbital forcings (e.g. tides or precession). I applied my fundamental results to Solar System's icy moons (e.g. Enceladus) and short-period binary systems.
