I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, in Garching, Germany. I work with Alessandro Di Siena on reduced models for turbulent transport in tokamaks, such as quasi-linear models, accounting for the effect of fast particles.

I did my PhD at the Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas, at Ecole polytechnique, France, under the supervision of Özgür D. Gürcan and Nicolas Fedorczak. My thesis subject was on Transport Modelling for Fusion Devices Using Reduced Models for Turbulence.

You can find my list of publications here, as well as my CV here.

During my PhD, I focused on turbulent transport in magnetised plasmas of tokamaks, and the self-organisation of turbulence into large-scale coherent structures, such as zonal flows.

For that, I mainly used the Hasegawa-Wakatani system as the minimal, non-trivial plasma turbulence model, in order to understand zonal flow formation and build reduced model which account for their interaction with turbulence.

I also developed P-FLARE a pseudo-spectral code using the penalisation method in order to solve flux-driven reduced fluid systems for plasma turbulence.
