I was hired for a four-year contract to perform research for my PhD and teach concurrently. As such, I am also one of the pedagogical secretaries of the admission exam to ENS.

Research interests
I am interested in statistical physics in a broad sense, with particular emphasis on complex, nonlinear out-of-equilibrium systems.
The models I study during my PhD originate from scientific ecology. Indeed, the collective behavior of many individuals belonging to several interacting species induces population dynamics suitable to analysis from a statistical physics viewpoint, but often non-reciprocal and thus kept far from thermodynamic equilibrium.
In particular, the evolution of ecological metacommunities, namely networks of communities coupled by the migration of individuals, is a timely and open question in ecology, whose study calls for leading–edge tools in statistical physics.
My approach is both theoretical and numerical, borrowing tools from stochastic dynamics and nonlinear systems as well as from high-performance computing implemented using the Julia language.
Teaching
Preparation for agrégation at Montrouge
Since 2025, I teach at the Montrouge center of preparation to the physics and chemistry agrégation externe.
To students choosing the physics option, I give the thermodynamics lectures. The document of the course, whose bulk is due to my predecessors, is available here.
To students choosing the chemistry option, I give the lectures on waves and supervise part of the experimental sessions throughout the year.
ICFP Master
Since 2025, I give tutorial classes for the numerical methods course of the first year of the ICFP master and I supervise numerical projects in Python. Resources pertaining to the course are available on Emmanuel Dormy’s website.
Physics olympiads
In highschool, I took part in the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) as well as in the European Physics Olympiad (EuPhO). I firmly believe that the associated training (theoretical and experimental) has been foundational to my journey as a physicist, both as regards interest and skills.
Since then, I strive to keep the olympiad world alive, to give others the opportunities that so benefited me. I contributed to grade EuPhO from 2022 to 2024 and tested many theoretical and experimental questions for IPhO 2025 in France. Since 2024, I teach at highschool Louis-le-Grand for the preparation of students for olympiads:
- Hydrostatics (slides, exercise sheet)
- Hydrodynamics and surface tension (slides, exercise sheet)
In 2025, I was one of the creators of Physicité, an association notably preparing students for olympiads, via live online lectures, documents and a Discord server. I am currently president of Physicité and teach there.
Physics and chemistry oral examinations
From 2021 to 2024, I gave colles at Louis-le-Grand, weekly oral examinations to help students prepare for contests. Some exercises I gave are available here.
Miscellaneous
Here are some projects bearing some relation to physics, to which I participated and that I hold dear:
