Paris-Saclay University
Biography
My research is located at the interface between hydrodynamics with flow of complex fluids such as foams or polymer solutions, physical-chemistry of colloidal suspensions as well as continuum mechanics based on consolidating materials. These different topics address fundamental problems in Soft Condensed Matter Physics while maintaining a connection with applications.

PhD Student
Paris-Saclay University
Oct 2020 – Present Orsay, France. As a PhD, I joined both the group Soft matter at interfaces in Laboratoire de Physique des Solides in Orsay and the group Biophysics and Soft Matter in Laboratoire Léon Brillouin in the CEA Saclay.
Student
Ecole Normale Supérieure d’Ulm
Sep 2016– Aug 2020 Paris, France. I’ve been studying fundamental physics and chemistry for four years at the Ecole Normale Supérieure d’Ulm. During this time, I’ve done five interships in academia in Paris, Bordeaux and Göttingen.
