May 2024 -- Excited to report that our experimental and numerical geomorphological study on yardangs has been accepted in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences!

2023

November 2023 -- A year after winning the Milton van Dyke poster award at the 2022 APS DFD Gallery of Fluid Motion in Indianapolis (IN, USA), our article Sculpting the Sphinx has been published as an invited entry in Physical Review Fluids! In addition to New York University press release, this research has been featured in several public-reaching articles (e.g. fyfluiddynamics and Geo).

November 2023 -- Our numerical and theoretical study on Fast-Slow Wave Transitions Induced by a Random Mean Flow has been published in Physical Review E.

October 2023 -- I am starting a new position as CNRS postdoctoral researcher at Université Paris-Saclay (Orsay, France), in the Fluides, Automatique et Systèmes Thermiques (FAST) laboratory.

February 2023 -- How does confining waves influence non-linear resonance conditions? More details in our theoretical and experimental study now published in Journal of Fluid Mechanics.

2022

November 2022 -- Sculpting the Sphinx has won the Milton van Dyke poster award at the 2022 APS DFD Gallery of Fluid Motion!

October 2022 -- Double-diffusive staircase stratifications are key to understand energy tranfers in the oceans. Our observational survey in the Arctic has just been published in Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans to help shed light on this intriguing phenomenon.

August 2022 -- Our article on Random Walks Through Poetry is featured in cover of Digital Creativity!

February 2022 -- The recording of my seminar given on February 4 at the EHESS (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales) is now online.

2021

December 2021 -- Check out my new online poster gallery!

October 2021 -- I have been awarded the Prix de Thèse Systèmes Complexes by the Institut des Systèmes Complexes de Paris IdF (ISC) for my Ph.D. work, as a transdisciplinarity and multi-scale research.

October 2021 -- I have been choosen to be the Joseph B. Keller fellow for the academic year 2021--2022 at the Courant Institute.

September 2021 -- The Applied Maths Seminars have started at Courant!

September 2021 -- Our numerical and theoretical work on convection in a mushy layer, discussing how a vertical heat flux drives convection and buoyant plumes in a mush, has been published in Journal of Fluid Mechanics.

September 2021 -- Our study reporting observations on axisymmetric wave attractors (linear regime, triadic resonant instability, and even weak inertial wave turbulence) combining experiments and numerics has been published in Journal of Fluid Mechanics.

July 2021 -- I have been awarded the Prix Daniel Guinier by the Société Française de Physique (SFP) as a recognition of the work undertaken during my Ph.D. More information on the SFP website, the ENS website, and on the Laboratoire de Physique website.

June 2021 -- Our experimental work on the generation of axisymmetric internal wave super-harmonics through non-linear self-interaction has been published in Physical Review Fluids.

April 2021 -- Our collaborative paper led by Jennifer A. MacKinnon from Scripps Institution of Oceanography (University of California San Diego, San Diego (CA), USA), entitled A warm jet in a cold ocean, has been published in Nature Communications this April. Check out the press coverage for more information (e.g. on Scripps Website The "heat bombs" destroying Arctic sea ice).
