About me

I am a PhD student in Climate Sciences at the LSCE laboratory of the University of Paris-Saclay. My higher education drove me from general physics and mathematics to environmental and climate sciences with a particular focus on atmospheric sciences. I am also interested by dynamical systems approaches to study non-linearities in the climate system. The goal of my PhD is to study how the dynamics leading to extreme events may change with climate change, with a special focus on heatwaves events. To do so I am working with techniques from non-equilibrium statistical physics such as rare events algorithms and instanton analysis. During my PhD I have also worked on extreme event attribution to climate change. I am supervised by Dr. Pascal Yiou and Dr. Davide Faranda.
