After graduating from ENSTA with an engineering degree, I did my Ph.D at LODYC (now LOCEAN) at the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris. Under the supervision of Claude Frankignoul, I worked on air-sea interactions in the midlatitudes and the impact of the ocean on the atmospheric low-frequency variability. In 2002, I joined John Marshall’s team at MIT as a post-doc to study the role of mesoscale eddies in the large-scale ocean circulation.
Since 2005, I am a research scientist (still at MIT). My main focus is now on coupled climate modeling. Through a series of idealized GFD experiments, we study the role of geometrical constraints in setting the mean climate. More details here.
