Presentation 👦

I am ATER at Laboratoire de mathématiques Jean Leray (LMJL) at Nantes University. My PhD supervisors were Anaïs Crestetto and Nicolas Crouseilles. I am working on the developement of PIC numerical method and their analysis for models which comes from plasma physics. These models contain strong oscillations and collisions, on different scales, that I try to take into account numerically.
Keywords: Vlasov-Poisson; Collisions; Maxwell; Oscillations; Dissipation; PIC method; Asymptotic Preserving; Uniformly Accurate.

Popularization 📺

2023

"Fête de la science" at Nantes, LMJL stand. We presented notion of tiling to public (children and adults). We presented the tile spectre discovered this year which can tile the plan alone aperiodically.
Science Dating during the Nuit Blanche des Chercheurs. I have presented what is numerical analysis and describe how to make a simulation in the context of plasma physic to mutliple groups of few people.

2022

"Fête de la science" at Nantes, LMJL stand. We presented notion of chaos theory to public (children and adults) through games, posters and videos.
