I am a research associate at CNRS with an appointment at the Physics Laboratory at ENS Lyon (Lyon, France) since March 2020. I was first appointed at the Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal (2012-1016) before being transferred to the CNRS-MIT Lab in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT (2016-2020). I received my BA (2004) and Msc (2006) degrees from the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris and my Ph.D. (2009) from the Physics Laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Lyon (France). I succeeded (top 2%) in the prestigious French competitive exam known as the Agrégation in physics and was a lecturer for 5 years at ENS Lyon. I joined the CNRS in 2012, where I have built an independent experimental activity in the field of Soft Matter. I have a longstanding expertise in the rheology of Soft Glassy Materials, e.g., colloidal gels, dense suspensions, and (bio)polymer gels. My main contribution concerns the discovery of long-lived and yet transient shear-bands during the shear-induced fluidization of Yield Stress Fluids. These heterogeneous "soft solids" are key to out-of-equilibrium living organisms and omnipresent in major industries (i.e., food-stuff, personal care, and oil) with applications in flow batteries and cementitious materials. My current research interests include the linear viscoelasticity of gels, the microscale scenario underpinning the power-law creep response in amorphous solids, and the multiscale characterization of heterogeneous materials via indentation.
