I am a Research Scientist in Geophysics and Space Geodesy at IPGP and IGN in Paris, France and member of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) research team.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, after receiving a PhD in Geophysics at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, France.

My research investigates the deformation of the Earth induced by various non-tectonic sources using space geodesy observations and numerical modeling. I am particularly interested in providing further constraints on the rheological properties of the Earth and associated physical processes using non-tectonic deformation at a range of spatial and temporal scales. I aslo investigate the possible contribution of non-tectonic deformation to the seismic cycle and reference frame realization.
