About

I am a first-year PhD candidate at the Institut Clément Ader (ICA), specializing in computational mechanics. I hold a double degree from ENS Paris-Saclay and ISAE-SUPAERO, and an M.Sc. from the University of Paris-Saclay (MS2SC, Centrale Supelec).

My work centers on photomechanic, in particular photometric approaches and mechanically regularized, high-performance methods for measuring deformation and displacement in complex scenarios.

I teach mechanics and computational mechanics to second- and fourth-year engineering students at INSA Toulouse, and I'm aiming toward an academic research career.
