I'm a CNRS researcher in the planetary science team at Laboratoire de Meteorologie Dynamique.
My current research focuses on the atmospheres of Venus and Titan. I develop general circulation models, especially photochemical aspects, and couplings. Our goal is to build Global Climate Models, useful tools for the interpretation of space missions' data.
I was involved in the Venus-Express mission (VIRTIS et SPICAV instruments), and participate to various projects to go back to Venus.
I have also done some work on Mars atmosphere, especially studying ozone distribution with data from the SPICAM instrument on-board Mars-Express.
