Initial university education with a dual master’s degree from the Universities of Paris VI and Paris VII (Pure Mathematics, then Physics, and an advanced degree in Fields and Particles). Completed a PhD at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides d’Orsay, focusing on random surface growth models.

I joined CEA-CESTA in 1990, where I worked on homogenization techniques for random dielectric/magnetic media with linear response, both in static and frequency domains, with particular interest in spatial dispersion effects in the homogenized medium. At CEA-DAM Ile de France, I subsequently worked on the topic of damage mechanics in plasticity within random media, and on homogenization techniques for nonlinear behavior laws, from both theoretical and numerical perspectives.

My current work focuses on the elastodynamics of high-speed dislocations in metals, particularly within a velocity range that includes speeds exceeding wave velocities. My research addresses issues of nucleation, calculation of elastodynamic interactions, ultra-high-speed mobility laws with radiation reaction effects, and more broadly, the modeling of metal deformation at high strain rates
