Date of Birth: April 10, 1977

Place of Birth: Angouleme, France

Nationalities: Australian, French

Fluent Languages: English, French and Spanish

Research Interests:

Atmospheric turbulence and its repercussion for astronomy, image degradation, adaptive optics and interferometry. My research is mainly experimental covering a broad knowledge of site testing, remote sensing and automatization for telescopes of all wavelengths. I am also particularly interested in the development and management of very large astronomical projects.

My career goal is to work in a hybrid environment of academia and project research, involving myself in teaching and project development.
