Présentation

I am a computational and physical chemist, with a Ph.D. in Astrochemistry at Scuola Normale Superiore. Currently, I have a postdoctoral research fellowship at the UMR Institut de Physique de Rennes (Rennes, France). I have a strong background in quantum chemistry and molecular physics and my main expertises lie in employing state-of-the-art quantum methodologies to accurately compute the geometric, spectroscopic, and collisional properties of molecular systems of astrophysical and atmospheric relevance.
