Présentation

My research field is the optical properties of atmospheric aerosols, which I study in laboratory (LIAPS experiment for Laboratory Instrument for Aerosol Polarimetry and Spectroscopy) and in field through lidar remote sensing field experiments. I thus developed new optical methodologies aimed at quantifying the optical properties of atmospheric aerosols such as mineral dust, volcanic ash, soots or pollen. I also developed new optical methodologies for trace gas remote sensing in both laboratory and field (2006-2016) and also achieved accurate polarization measurements in the field of quantum optics (atom interferometry, ion trap) for time-frequence metrology (2000-2006).
