CV
PhD manuscript
I am an associate professor at Université de Toulouse, and researcher at the Research Institute for Astrophysics and Planetology (IRAP) in Toulouse, France.
My current projects are about the preparation of the infrared camera CAGIRE from the ground segment of SVOM, to chase after obscured and far away Gamma-ray bursts in real time.
Generally speaking, I am interested in the observation of X-ray binaries in optical/infrared in order to better constrain their environnement, transient nature as well as their role as gravitational wave merger progenitors. I have worked with data coming from prestigious facilities such as ESO/VLT (X-Shooter, ISAAC, FORS2 and VIRCAM) as well as the latest release from the Gaia satellite.
