I am a CNRS senior research scientist in the team “Out-of-equilibrium and nonlinear physics” of the Institut de Physique de Nice (CNRS, Université Côte d'Azur) and in the project-team Calisto (Centre Inria d'Université Côte d'Azur and CNRS).
My scientific expertise concerns the study of turbulent flows, and more precisely the development and deployment of new analytical and numerical tools to tackle fundamental and applied problems in fluid dynamics and turbulent transport.

I am in charge of the "Complex Systems" Academy, which is one of the five Academies of Excellence that shape scientific activities within the initiative of excellence (IDEX) of Université Côte d'Azur. The objectives of the Academy is to structure transdisciplinarity and to support training and research initiatives. It provides funding to various projects, gives advices and consulting through its Scientific Council and plays a facilitating role by promoting closer ties with other entities of Université Côte d'Azur.
