From 2001 to 2013 I was a research scientist at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research (NIWA) based in Wellington, New Zealand, which I joined after completing my PhD in 2000 at Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France. I am both a French and New Zealand citizen.

My research interests reflect my double training and career in fluid mechanics and environmental sciences: multiphase flows, oceanic and atmospheric modelling, granular materials, waves, stratified flows, tsunamis etc.

I am particularly interested in developing numerical methods for partial differential equations (PDEs), both as a tool to explore the physics of complex flows using numerical experiments, and as a way to understand the structure and properties of PDES: a kind of experimental mathematics.

Having participated in oceanographic campaigns in the southern ocean (and also in Antarctica) and having designed field experiments and instrumentation I also have a direct experience of experimental methods.
