Research interests

My research centers on the field of experimental solid-state physics, with a specific emphasis on quantum materials exhibiting remarkable properties due to the presence of strongly correlated electrons. I am intrigued by the simultaneous existence or competition of various orders within these systems, encompassing phenomena such as metal-insulator transitions (Mott physics), unconventional superconductivity, frustrated magnetism, and multiferroics.

I am based at the Solid State Physics Laboratory, where I have developed an X-ray diffraction setup under high pressure and low temperature conditions. This setup allows for the measurement of both powders or single crystals. Concurrently, I am an affiliated scientist at the SOLEIL synchrotron, working on the GALAXIES beamline dedicated to X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy (XAS, XES, and RIXS). I am also affiliated with the Léon Brillouin Laboratory at CEA Saclay, focusing on themes related to neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering.

At this occasion, I launched new activities related to the multiferroics materials on RMn2O5, starting to investigate the interplay between order parameters under different conditions. I developped High Pressure X-Ray diffraction setup at the lab, for both powder and single cristal diffraction at high pressure and low temperature. This includes new Diamond Anvil Cell development together with cryostat specifically designed for such cells.
