Graduate engineer from Mines Télécom Atlantique (class of 2008), holding a Master’s degree in Particle Physics (University of Nantes, 2008) and a PhD in Nuclear Physics (University of Bordeaux, 2011), I have built my career as an experimental physicist at the interface between fundamental physics and large-scale research facilities (GSI and LMJ/PETAL). In general terms, my research topics include: • Nuclear physics, neutron-induced and surrogate reactions, fission mechanisms, SOFIA/R3B experiments @ GSI (research activity from 2008 to 2014) • Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) • Physics of materials under extreme conditions (ns-scale high-fluence X-ray sources, thermomechanical and electromagnetic response) • Ultra-High-Intensity (UHI) physics with PETAL, development of secondary sources with PETAL and their applications to radiography and laboratory astrophysics • Development and implementation of plasma diagnostics, including particle diagnostics (ions, electrons), neutron diagnostics (nToF, activation), interferometry (VH/VISAR), phase-contrast imaging and structural response diagnostics.
