My research has led to over 100 scientific publications, 11 patents, and recognition such as inclusion in the Stanford top-2% most cited scientists list.
I am grateful to the students I have had the honor to supervise, to the engineers and industrial partners with whom I have had the privilege to work, to my mentors and my collaborators. I am also thankful to my institution, and more broadly to the French academic system, for the intellectual freedom it provides.
Outside research, I enjoy playing the violin (sometimes at Ecole des Mines, sometimes in pubs, sometimes to accompagny my children), reading literature, hiking in the Alps, and spending time in the south of France, where I grew up.
