I am a CNRS researcher working in Institut de Physique de Rennes, France.
I study the physics of liquids and interfaces. My expertise covers liquid dynamics (rheology, viscous flows, drop impacts), interface physics (bubbles, capillary attraction), and wetting phenomena (superhydrophobicity and contact line dynamics). My approach is experimental and almost always accompanied by a theoretical modeling or scaling laws. I like to understand how phenomena occurring at small scales affect the macroscopic behavior of systems.
Currently, I focus on the capillary effects and the surface rheology of soap films, using magnetic particules as a tool to probe the interfaces. I also study Marangoni instabilities at the surface of a bath.

I joined Institut de Physique de Rennes as a CNRS Researcher (Chargée de Recherches CNRS) in january 2022
-
Between 2019 and 2021 I worked in ESPCI with Annie Colin, on the characterization of the flow of shear-thickening suspensions using a new kind of sensor, that gives a local measurement of the normal stresses.
-
In 2017-2019, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher with Detlef Lohse, Devaraj van der Meer and Jacco Snoeijer (University of Twente) on self-propulsion on a volatile liquid surface.
-
I did my PhD (2012-2015) with David Quéré (Ecole Polytechnique), on aerodynamic repellency and macrotextured superhydrophobic surfaces.
-
From 2008 to 2012, I studied Physics and Mechanics in École Polytechnique (Paris).
