Biography
I am a doctoral (eq. PhD) student in the theory group of LPS Orsay supervised by Mark-Oliver Goerbig. My doctoral work concerns quantum/band geometry, and specifically its relation with effects beyond the free fermion regime. In a first project, recently published in PRB, we study the influence of the Berry curvature carried by a normal state on a possible superconducting phase in the context of a massive Dirac fermions model.

Full time researcher
CNRS
Jan 2012 – Present Orsay, France I joined the group Soft matter at interfaces in Laboratoire de Physique des Solides in Orsay. At this occasion, I launched new activities related to the role of physical solid surface properties on foam flows. I am also developing new topics related to phase transitions in soft matter.
Marie Curie fellow
Paris-Diderot University
Jun 2010 – Jan 2011 Paris, France During my short stay in Laurent Limat’s group, I finalized collaborative works on the particle transport in drops by diffusiophoresis.
Marie Curie fellow
Princeton University
Aug 2006 – May 2009 Princeton, NJ I spent nearly 3 years in Howard Stone’s group In Princeton. My primarily work was on the drying of colloidal suspensions with a particular focus on the drying stress measurement and the role of solvent absorption by the substrate. I also made experimental studies on the wetting of fibers and the damping of a sloshing motion by foams.
