Welcome !

I am currently an Assistant Professor (Maître de conférence) at École Centrale Nantes (ECN) within the Département Mathématiques, Informatique et Biologie. I am also a member of the Laboratoire de Mathématiques Jean Leray (LMJL).

From November 2024 to August 2026, I was a postdoctoral researcher at IMAG (Institut Montpellierain Alexander Grothendieck) and a member of the INRIA ANGUS team. I worked with Matthieu Hillairet and Nicolas Seguin on the mathematical analysis of partial differential equations for multiphase and multi-fluid flows, with a particular focus on compressible Navier-Stokes equations for the modeling and simulation of bubbly flows.

I obtained my PhD in 2024 through a joint supervision between the MOX laboratory of Politecnico di Milano and the joint INRIA Paris/LJLL team COMMEDIA. My doctoral research focused on the modeling, mathematical analysis, and numerical approximation of fluid-structure interaction problems involving slender structures immersed in three-dimensional flows. My PhD was supervised by Miguel A. Fernández and Paolo Zunino, with co-supervision by Muriel Boulakia and Céline Grandmont
