My research activities focus on the physical mechanisms governing the formation and evolution of planetary interiors. They combine laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, and theoretical methods, primarily rooted in fluid dynamics. The fundamental results obtained with these methods are used to better understand key geophysical processes. I am particularly interested in planetary impacts, metal-silicate mixing during core formation, convection dynamics in planetary interiors, and the thermal and magnetic evolution of planets.


Gallery of Fluid Motion 2020

For the APS-DFD 2020 meeting Gallery of Fluid Motion, I submitted a video of my drop impact experiments, conducted at the LGL-TPE in Lyon with Renaud Deguen, Thierry Alboussière and Maylis Landeau.
