My research background:

2024 — Associate professor at Université Paris 13 in the Magnetic Quantum Gases team of the Laboratoire de Physique des Laser.
2022 – 2024 Postdoctorate in Tilman Pfau’s group (Stuttgart) on magnetic quantum gases and supersolidity.
2019 – 2022 PhD at the Institut d’Optique in the Quantum Gases group on the control of interatomic interactions in Bose-Einstein condensate mixtures.

My research is experimental and currently revolves around a quantum gas experiment involving chromium atoms confined in optical lattices. I’m interested in collective phenomena in strongly-correlated regimes for systems featuring long-range dipolar interactions.

Courses taught:

  • Physique pour les Technologies Quantiques 3 : Diffraction, imagerie, lasers, optique gaussienne

Research themes:

  • Quantum simulation
  • Quantum thermalization
  • Quantum gases
Setup for optical lattices.
