I work in the field of statistical and atomic physics of plasmas. More particularly, my research focuses on the modeling of warm or hot dense plasmas, and of out-of-equilibrium plasmas. Main applications of this research are the calculations of thermodynamic properties (e.g. equation of state), transport properties (e.g. conductivity), and radiative properties (opacity and emissivity). These are useful to the simulation of high-energy-density plasmas flows, interpretation of laboratory experiments with high-power lasers or Z-pinches, and astrophysics. I also contribute to teaching statistical physics, dense-plasma physics, and physics of astrophysical plasmas in Master 2 as a senior lecturer of the INSTN (School for Energy and Health Technology).
