About me

I'm a physics enthusiast on a mission to redefine the possibilities in optical sciences. I was born and raised in France, where I completed my undergrad, Masters, and Ph.D. Now, as a researcher at UQ in Australia, my focus is on pushing the boundaries of light manipulation, collaborating with industry giants such as Nokia Bell Laboratories. My goal? To unlock the full potential of light for enhanced communications and biomedical imaging through places where light would not naturally travel to. Outside the lab, you'll find me immersed either in reading or in the world of sports—whether it's rugby, judo, futsal, aikido, or hiking. I'm all about embracing the thrill of both scientific discoveries and adventures!
"My research has the potential to position Australia at the forefront of optical sciences, fostering innovation and technological leadership."
