Welcome
I am a member of the CNRS Research staff in the high energy phenomena, accretion disks and plasmas group (SHERPAS) of the Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics of Grenoble (IPAG). My research interest includes hydrodynamic and MHD turbulence in accretion discs, disc winds, dynamo theory and planet formation. More informations, including pretty pictures and videos are available in the research pages.
