Position

I have defended my PhD thesis on October 4th 2012. Starting from January 2013, I will be an ASP Fellow at NCAR, Boulder, CO.

My thesis supervisors were Didier Paillard (LSCE, CEA Saclay) and Bérengère Dubrulle (GIT-SPEC, CNRS).

I also have more or less frequent interactions with Masa Kageyama (LSCE), Jean-Louis Dufresne (LMD), Joël Sommeria (LEGI), Pierre-Henri Chavanis (LPT), Valerio Lucarini (University Hamburg), Annick Pouquet (NCAR TNT), Joe Tribia (NCAR CGD)...

Research Topics

Statistical Mechanics: Long-range interaction systems, statistical ensemble inequivalence, applications of statistical mechanics to turbulent flows and to geophysical flows, Critical Phenomena,...
Turbulence: 2D Turbulence, Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent flows, sub-grid scale parametrizations, closure models,...
Climate Modelling: Atmosphere and Ocean Dynamics, Paleoclimate Modelling (conceptual models, applications of the Maximum Entropy Production conjecture,...), Stochastic Climate Modelling,...
Dynamical Systems: Ergodic Theory (and Bifurcation Theory, Stochastic Processes,...)
