We are all made of star stuff

I'm a postdoctoral research fellow studying astrophysics at Université Pierre & Marie Curie, LNPHE. My research focuses on one of the most energetic explosions in the Universe, the supernovae. A supernova is the explosive death of a star, which unleashes a burst of light through the cosmos and ejected material expanding from the explosion.

Currently, I am working on using these objects to measure distances in Universe and to answer some of the grandest questions: What the age of the Universe? What will be the future of the Universe? What is the nature of the dark energy? How the matter is distributed?

Find answers to these questions (and more!) on my Research page!

Please feel free to ask all kind of questions in Contact. It will be a pleasure to answer and will try to do it in less than 2 days and publish the ANSWERS.
