Biography

My career is oriented on the characterization of materials for the French nuclear cycle. In 2005, I get a doctoral thesis on the study of newly formed phases during the dissolution of nuclear fuel in geological storage conditions in the hypothesis of the direct spent fuel storage. I continued on the same scope in postoc on the synthesis and characterization of actinide phases IV. For 2 years, professional activity focused on modeling and simulating the migration of radionuclides within a disposal cell. From 2010, I mainly studied the phenomenon of clogging encountered in the steam generators of the pressurized water reactors of the french nuclear power plants. Since 2022, I
