PhD in Chemical Physics, Université de Bordeaux (2005). Research area:

• Behaviour of explosives under inert regimes: equations of state, granularity effects, specific geometry effects,
• Detonation products and carbon clusters: formation process, kinetics of aggregation,
• Behaviour of polymers under shock compression,
• Interfacial behaviour. Methods:
• Classical molecular dynamics (code development, STAMP),
• Ab initio calculations.
