About me

I am a CNRS junior research scientist in mathematics, working at IRMAR laboratory, in Rennes, France. I am currently interested in control theory (mostly nonlinear systems), fluid mechanics and boundary layers.

Former student at ENS Ulm, I wrote my PhD thesis under the supervision of Jean-Michel Coron on control in fluid mechanics, defended in September 2016. I was then a post-doc student of Anne-Laure Dalibard on the analysis of boundary layer models then of Karine Beauchard, on quadratic obstructions to controllability.

Dear editors, due to my personal conviction for open science and an always increasing number of review demands, I will prioritize reviewing papers for diamond open-access journals starting January 2022.
