Welcome!

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in astrophysics and observationnal cosmology at the Weizmann Institute of Science.

Previously, I was a PhD student at University College London (UCL), in the UCL cosmology group, within the astrophysics group.

I am actively involved in the Dark Energy Survey collaboration ("the DES", definitely one of the most exciting scientific project of this decade!), in which I am leading the task of star-galaxy separation, a vital step for understanding the images of the sky and using them to address scientific questions (Soumagnac et al., 2013).

The other projects I lead during my PhD involve machine learning methods applied to large galaxy surveys, photometric redshift measurement and the very exciting Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs).

Before starting my PhD, I graduated from the Ecole Normale Superieure (France), and took part in several research projects as an undergraduate and a Master student, in the BIPAC institute at University of Oxford (UK), the Alcator C-mod project at MIT (Massachussetts, USA), and the seismology group at the Midi-Pyrenees Observatory (France).

Take a look around!
