Research
CORIA UMR CNRS 6614
Specializing in the fields of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), two-phase flows and energy, I try to extend my work beyond the strict boundaries of these disciplines.
I am particularly engaged in transdisciplinary projects that merge science, technology, art and society.
My goal is not only to work on scientific and technical problems, but also to integrate the solutions into the local socio-economic fabric for a lasting impact.
Through this integration, I seek to put the socio-ecological transition at the heart of our concerns, while collaborating closely with industrial, academic and civil society stakeholders.

Outside the lab
In addition to my professional commitments, I am involved in a range of activities and associations which allow me to apply certain aspects of my work to initiatives anchored in the local social fabric. The enrichment that I attribute to each meeting and interaction strengthens my commitment and broadens my horizon.​
Normandy - MAN
Art & Science
I am passionate about the synergy between art and science. I can collaborate with artists to develop installations that merge scientific research and creative expression or I create links between artists and scientists for the development of joint projects.
Since 2023, I have partnered with the visual artist Marie Mellier to offer graphic conferences for children and the general public.
For me, these initiatives represent a unique way of communicating science in an accessible way, while exploring new forms of interaction and dialogue between disciplines.
Diffusion
I appreciate actions intended to make science accessible to the general public. I have written popular articles for 'The Conversation' and I also participate in events or conferences intended for the general public to shed light on various aspects of my research or TSE project manager work.
Recently, I have focused on raising awareness about climate change, a topic that I consider of critical importance. Whether through graphic conferences in collaboration with artists or through public interventions, my objective is to contribute to a better understanding of current scientific challenges, in particular climate change and its impacts.
Visualization
Scientific visualization and graphic design occupy a special place in my professional career. I am convinced that these disciplines, when applied to science and more specifically to numerical calculation, have the power to make complex concepts understandable and engaging.
Whether for the development of digital models, the representation of data or the creation of interactive content, my goal is to combine digital science and aesthetics. This multidisciplinary approach not only aims to facilitate the understanding of the phenomena studied, but also to open new horizons of questioning and exploration.
Spark Co.
The Spark Company is a professional multidisciplinary artistic troupe that offers unique experiences combining graphic and digital arts, theater and music. Committed to themes as varied as exile, discrimination or the environment, this company places particular emphasis on raising awareness among young audiences and families. By collaborating with various institutions and communities, Spark Company aims to democratize art and make it accessible to all generations. Their commitment to cultural inclusion and artistic creation makes them a pillar of the contemporary art scene.
Within this dynamic company, I act as a scientific advisor or even a lecturer, particularly on projects relating to questions of sustainable development and climate change. My role consists of providing a scientific basis for the works created, in order to shed light on these complex subjects in a precise manner while making them accessible and engaging for the public.
MAN
The Forum - Maison de l’architecture de Normandie is a regional cultural association committed to sharing architectural, urban and landscape quality. This unique place for exchanges and reflections is at the crossroads of several artistic and academic disciplines. Each year, it develops a program rich in events that nourish a shared culture on subjects linked to architecture, landscape and urban planning.
​
I am part of the board of directors of this dynamic association. I am also involved in the development of exhibition projects related to themes linked to water, the Seine or climate change. I appreciate the dialogue between the fields of architecture and urban planning in the face of contemporary environmental challenges.
A
FLOATING WORLD
Un Monde Flottant is an association committed to promoting multidisciplinary exchanges around the Seine and river navigation. It is part of an approach to ecological transition and sustainable development, by promoting dialogue between artistic, technological, scientific and sociological fields. The association aspires to be an intermediary place for creations and transversal exchanges, by coordinating partnerships with various training stakeholders in the Normandy region. It also organizes various one-off actions, such as exhibitions and conferences, to bring together local stakeholders and encourage interdisciplinary collaborations.
I am part of the board of directors and the office of this alternative association. I help organize quarterly events that merge the disciplines of arts, technology and science. in order to actively contribute to the development of this place of exchange and creation.
