About
PhD in astrophysics, I just defended my thesis. I am looking for opportunities in Paris and its region in areas related to the environment, open digital and education. My main skills are research, modelling, spectroscopic data processing and analysis in the fields of physics, nanosciences and astrophysics. I am an advanced Python user.

Properties of carbon nanodust in protoplanetary discs - 2016-2019 - Thesis
Dust plays major roles in the formation of molecules, gas heating and disc dynamics. Studying its composition and evoultion allows us to understand how planets and complex molecules are formed.
Methods :
- processing of infrared spectroscopic data from observations obtained with the NaCo instrument at the VLT
- dust modelling THEMIS and disc modelling with the radiative transfer code Polaris .
Results :
- detection of the presence of nanometric carbonaceous dust in different regions of protoplanetary discs
- their signatures suggest a mechanism for renewing the material on the surface of the discs

Volatile resistive transition of Mott insulators - 2016 - Research internship
Mott insulators are materials with strong electronic correlations that produce properties such as superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance or insulation-to-metal transition. Applications for RAM memories or artificial neurons are being considered.
Methods :
- thin film production by magnetron sputtering
- characterisation and measurement of electrical properties
- thin film modeling with COMSOL
Results :
Highlighting the volatile resistive transition on thin film

Stability of (endo-)fullerenes - 2015 - Research internship
Fullerenes are an allotropic form of carbon, similar to graphene and carbon nanotubes. Molecules forming a closed cage, they have high symmetry and stability. Observed in the interstellar medium, medical applications are also being considered.
Methods :
- fullerene modeling and DFT calculation with Aimpro
- mass spectra analysis
Results :
EStudy of the stability of fullerenes according to their size and fullerene complexes - Iron
