Hello!

I am a physicist working on the statistical mechanics of nonequilibrium and disordered systems, sometimes exploring their connection with biology and ecology. I hold a permanent researcher position at the Institut de Physique Théorique (IPhT) of the CEA Saclay, in the Paris area.

Previously, I was a CV Raman Postdoctoral Fellow of the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore where I collaborated with Sriram Ramaswamy and Vishwesha Guttal. Before that, I was a postdoc at the Technion, working with Guy Bunin and Yariv Kafri. I completed my PhD at Université Paris Cité under the supervision of Frédéric van Wijland. You can find the manuscript of my thesis here.

For more information, please refer to my CV, available in English and French, and to my publication list. If you are a student, feel free to contact me to know about possible projects.

Teaching

From 2018 to 2021, I worked as a teaching assistant in the “Frontières du Vivant” bachelor program of the Université Paris Cité. The topics covered were Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, geometrical optics and electronics. In the fall 2021, I was main lecturer of the Newtonian mechanics course.
