My research focuses on fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). I specialize in characterizing subcritical instabilities in planetary or stellar systems, which I address by means of simplified flow models using a range of applied mathematical tools. My main research interests currently deal with subcritical transitions and magnetic field generation in accretion discs or stellar interiors. I am a member of the INRIA team CASTOR (Control of PlAsma inSTability, Optimization and model Reduction) and of the Fluid Dynamics and Numerical Modeling group at Laboratoire J.A. Dieudonné.
