Research experience

June 2013-	Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews, UK. Collaboration with Prof. I. Bonnell .
June 2010-May 2013	Research associate at Monash University, Australia. Collaboration with Dr. D.J. Price. I developed entirely a new SPH algorithm for dust and gas mixtures suited for almost all astrophysical problems. This lead to applications in studying planetesimal accretion on a planet in discs and in improving the theory of SPH kernels.
Sept 2009-May 2010	Associate research fellow at Ens de Lyon, France. I derived criteria on the values of the density and temperature profiles for disc to retain their grains. I proved that planetesimals formation by gravitational instability may be possible since grains are growing and turbulent correlations are moderate enough.
Sept 2007-Sept 2009	Ph.D. Thesis at CRAL at Ens de Lyon, France. "Grain growth: the early stages of planet formation". Supervision: Dr J.-F. Gonzalez. I ran the first SPH simulations of grain growth in protoplanetary discs, showing that particles are not always accreted onto the central star. Associate Lecturer at the Ens de Lyon, France.
2006	Master 2 training period (Ens de Lyon) "A numerical approach of grain growth in protoplanetary discs". Supervision: Dr J.-F. Gonzalez.
2004	Master 1 training period (Ens de Lyon) "Experimental study of surface rheology". Supervision: Dr C. Monteux.
2003	Licence 3 training period (Ens de Lyon) "Characterisation of turbulent flows with an acoustic Fabry-Perot". Supervision: Dr A. Naert.
