Detailed CV

Research Projects

All the projects are detailed in the research section of the site. The figure below lists the projects I have carried out around 4 main themes. In spite of the apparent diversity of subjects, the great majority of these projects were initiated from observations or questions raised by previous projects. There is thus a continuum of questions raised ranging from thermal problems to mass transport.
