I'm a young physicist living in the Lausanne region. My main interests are fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.
Since February 2021, I am researching the sloshing phenomenon in spacecraft tanks in partnership with the EPFL Rocket Team, under the supervision of Professor Daniele Mari at EPFL (Lausanne). This work, which began as my bachelor thesis, has continued in my spare time.
Between September 2024 and January 2025, I researched the aerodynamics of bobsleighs and skeletons for the French Olympic team, under the supervision of Professor Christophe Clanet and Samy Ben Hamoudi during an internship at École Polytechnique (Paris).
I am currently pursuing an MSc in Applied Physics at EPFL. Prior to this, I completed a BSc in Physics at the same institution.
