Welcome to my personal page! I am currently a PhD student at IPAG in Grenoble in the high energy and accretion disk group (SHERPAS team). I work from a theoretical and numerical point of view on accretion disks around compact binaries. I am mainly interested in astrophysical plasmas processes. This includes MHD turbulence, formation of winds/jets, dynamo and all type of plasma instabilities. During my PhD thesis, I have been focusing mainly on one particular object : the dwarf novae (a compact binary system with an accreting white dwarf; see Figure below) as we have great observational constraints from these objects. However, my work can be applied more broadly to all type the processes that we study are more or less similar in all types of accretion disks and I would like to extend my research to X-ray binaries, Active Galactic Nuclei and protoplanetary disks.  My day to day work implies heavy 3D MHD local (and soon global!) simulations of accretion disks with radiative transfer with the PLUTO code. I also use a lighter 1D+1D (radial and vertical directions decoupled) code solving the temporal evolution of an accretion disk and allowing us to compute the light curves in a very short amount of time (see video below).
