I am a posdoc researcher (ORCID) at LERMA, Observatoire de Paris (PSL), Paris, France.

I work in the research groups of Andrea Ciardi (LERMA & Sorbonne University) and Julien Fuchs (LULI & Ecole Polytechnique).

My research focuses on both laser-plasma physics and magnetized laboratory astrophysics, with the methods of both advanced computational modeling (by using PIC/MHD/MHD-PIC codes) and high-power laser experiments (at APOLLON, VULCAN, and LULI2000).

Interests

  • Laboratory astrophysics
  • magnetized shock acceleration
  • stochastic acceleration in turbulence
  • Laser-driven secondary sources
  • MHD/PIC/MHD-PIC simulations
