Work experience

  • 02/2004 - present: Senior Researcher at CERFACS, Toulouse, France.

    Responsible for the coordination, management of research projects as well as search for financial ressources for research projects with strong industrial implications in the field of turbulent reacting flows and aeronautical applications. In parallel to these attributions, the training and formation of Ph.D. students and engineering teams is also required as well as actions for reasearch valorisation, publication and project execution.
