Professional Skills

Teamwork

I use to work as a member of the ERC project Stellar-MADE, which is based on a efficient communication between team members and collaborators to optimise scientific results.

Outreach

Talking of what I like feels natural for me. Astrophysics being one of my passions, I like to explain it in a simplified way and to make it as accessible as possible. I have taken part to several outreach initiatives, like Pint of Science, radio posdacts, or public observing nights.

Bringing people together

Laboratories should be animated places, where people thrive and connect. I like to believe that a lively lab contributes to a research of quality. Participating to the life of the lab is my way to promote people well-being. TO date, I have been leading several initiatives at the lab-level such as weekly football plays, weekly team meetings, and yearly PhD days.

Personal Skills

Ambitious

From a young age, I have been captivated by the mysteries of space. The desire to study them emerged early on, evolving into a dream that has guided my academic journey. Like a dog relentlessly chasing a bone, I have at heart to put up everything I can to explore my scientific interests. This allowed me to develop a high-reaching science, promoting the quality of results rather than publishing rate.

Open-minded

I believe I have a lot to learn from the others, which is why I always welcome advice, feedback, and constructive criticism as essential tools for refining my work and adapt to the evolving landscape of astrophysics. Beyond my own development, I am commited to the fostering a culture of inclusivity and social justice within the academic community. In this context, I prioritise active listening and have earned a reputation as a trustworthy and reliable colleague and friend.

Versatile

People like to say I can easily blend in any social group. I don't know how true this is, but I know that I can adapt quickly to new working conditions. Could it be new softwars, new collaborations, or a new workplace, I am at ease with novelty. Through time, I constituted myself a arsenal of software/techniques that helps me to cover a large variety of topics in the planet formation field.
