After training as an optical engineer, I completed my PhD in physics at the LULI laboratory at the École Polytechnique until 2014, working on the microscopic description of Warm Dense Matter. In particular, I performed experiments coupling shock compression, optical diagnostics (VISAR, SOP), and X-ray diagnostics (X-ray diffraction, XANES absorption spectroscopy) on large nanosecond laser facilities (LULI2000, JLF, GEKKO XII) and XFEL.

I furthered my experimental training on the UHI100 femtosecond laser during a four-year postdoctoral fellowship at CEA-Saclay. My work then focused on the generation of ultra-short and ultra-intense electronic and XUV sources.

I joined CEA DAM Île-de-France in 2018 to work once again on the design and implementation of experimental campaigns on large laser facilities (LMJ-PETAL, OMEGA, LULI2000). My work has since been associated with various topics related to extreme shock compression (equations of state, phase diagrams, shock chronometry), which may require the use of X-ray diagnostics (X-ray diffraction, X-ray radiography), as well as the development of associated X-ray sources. In this context, since 2020 I have also been supervising students on internships and PhDs, in collaboration with the PHYHDEL team at the LULI laboratory.
