Organizational Experience:
-
Scientific committee of
- 6th, 7th , 8th,9thand 10thFestivals de Theorie, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019 in Aix en Provence.
-
Scientific and the organizing committes of
- Winter school “Dynamics and turbulent transport in plasmas and conducting fluids”, 2011 at Ecole Physiques des Houches.
-
Selection committee of the Rencontres Nonlineaires between 2013-2016.
-
I organized:
- the Plasma Physics Seminars in Physics Department at UCSD (2005-2008)
- The journal club on plasma turbulence in the LPP (2012-2015 or so)
- Working group on turbulence in CEA-Cadarache, (two PRLs in 2009).
- I lead the “axe tranverse ‘turbulence’” at LPP together with Sébastien Galtier (an important aspect of our Laboratory LPP).
1Romain worked most of the time with his ex-supervisor Sebastien Galtier even though he was paid from my ANR project, which I welcomed because he was producing important physics results with Sebastian.
2Sumire was actually a postdoc of Fouad Sahraoui in Space Plasmas team, but because she had worked on fusion before, we wrote a number of papers together.
