Since 2022, I have been working as an Associate Astronomer at the LUTH, Observatoire de Paris.
My research is centered on the problem of the origin of cosmic rays, and on the acceleration of particles up to the highest energies.
I am a proud member of the gamma-ray observatory CTA, (currently being built!), and of the H.E.S.S. collaboration.
I was a PRFP/MSCA postdoctoral fellow at the Irène Joliot-Curie Lab (IJCLab, 2022), a PSL postdoctoral fellow at the Observatoire de Paris (2021) and a postdoctoral fellow at the Gran Sasso Science Institute (L’Aquila, Italy) (2018-2020)
I was Lecturer in Astronomy and “Frontiers of Science Fellow” at Columbia University (NYC) (2016-2018)
TEACHING
I am currently teaching at the Observatoire de Paris, and supervising interships (all levels). Do not hesitate to reach out via email!
