Scientific life

I'm a french physicist working for developing theories and methods for understanding the effects of light on materials, but mostly for resolving open problems that excite curiosity.

Topics of research

Since 2008, I could spend quite many years in studying the formation mechanisms of nanostructures induced by laser irradiation.

Originally, I was mainly motivated to work on studying self-organization effects in matter irradiated by laser light. But a PhD and more interesting investigations later, it became rapidly clear that self-organization was a buzzword hiding several competing & nice physical and chemical phenomena of very different natures. I'm working at modeling them all together and also dedicate a large part of my time to the development of applications of lasers, emerging from the gained fundamental insights.

You can catch all my references on my research website and other community engines (Scholar Google, Web of Science).

Influenced by the East

My scientific life has been lengthily bound to the Russian education, as I had been supervised 3.5+6 years over 12 years by Russian woman scientists: Prof. T. E. Itina and Prof. N. M. Bulgakova (elected as member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of the Russian Federation).

2013 - 2014 Berlin years

After a 2-years stay at BAM in Berlin for a short post-doc fellowship with Dr. Jörn Bonse, I caught the great opportunity to recover the lack of contemporary history teaching typical from french middle and high schools. For that purpose, Berlin is one of the centers of Europe as it is linked to most of the 20th century history. I was living in Prenzlauer Berg, close to the first Biergarten.

2014 - 2017 Marie Curie Individual Fellow and Prague years

In 2015, I have received a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship from the European Commission to work at the HiLASE Centre (Institute of Physics, Czech Academy of Sciences) and to spend 6 months in the Theory Group of prof. Angel Rubio at the Max Planck Institute for Structure Dynamics of Matter.

By this way, since 2016, I got acquainted with advanced techniques of quantum dynamics simulation such as time-dependent density functional theory, and a bit of quantum electrodynamics.
In 2016, I've been also contributor of 1 patent in the Czech Republic, pending in the European Union.

Since 2016, I have been quite a big user of high power computations. Publications related to my high usage of international computational resources are under finalization.

Since September 2017, I have been official supervisor of 1 PhD student, funded by the projects of Prof. Bulgakova.

2018 One year in Hamburg

In 2018, I was part of the theory group of Prof. Angel Rubio at the Max Planck Institute for Structure and Dynamics of Matter for some time where I could submit my first proposal to the European Research Council.

2019 Returning to Prague: Marie Curie RISE project

In June 2018, I have obtained 250,000 EUR funding (Marie Curie Actions) for developing a network of theoreticians named "ATLANTIC". The project started on 1st of March 2019 and will run until Feb. 2023.

Since March 2019, I'm fully settled in Prague, in the country of the most impressive political dissident Vaclav Havel, and living in Vinohrady, the place of former wine seeders.

Musical life

Since 2010, I've been a drummer in jazz bars of different cities where I lived: Marseille, Berlin, Prague, Hamburg.

Until 2014, I was drummer in some bands in France. Between 2004 and 2014, I had been producer for an e-label we had named Tousketa Productions e-label, with which we had produced our TCF and Team Partout music bands. I also like to play guitar, and to meet new people.

I mainly played drums and co-produced albums of our bands in Paris (France) and Prague (Czech Republic). I'm regularly jamming with local musicians in Prague, notably in the underground Vzorkovna, from which I got to know a large community of amateur musicians of a pretty nice level.

I am also active in jazz (essentially on drums). It started in Marseille (France) and could continue in Prague (Czech Republic). I learnt drums through jazz/funk improvisation since 2002 and had lessons with different teachers. I regularly attend workshops from various networks such as Czech Jazz Workshop and the Global Music Foundation. As a whole, I could receive drumming lectures from:

Pavel Borzel
Francesco Petreni
Luc Heller (Etienne Daho, Brigitte Fontaine).
William Roudil.

I like funk, afro-cuban jazz, fusion jazz, hip-hop, soul, flamenco, and classical music.
