Intern students
You can find the intership topics, current or past, following this link.
2019
  • Olivier Michel works with me for her 5 months Master2 internship. Olivier works on modeling the spreading of asymmetric reconnection lines with 3D Hybrid PIC simulations.
  • Bayane Michotte de Welle works with me for her 5 months Master2 internship. Bayane is building machine learning algorithms to detect and model the Earth bow shock using multiple satellite missions.
2017
  • Thibault Payet is doing his 6 months Master 2 internship with me on developing a new massively parallel hybrid code.
  • Louis Vignoli, Bruno Regaldo-saint-blancard and Brice Bakkali-Hassani worked with me for 6 months on the automatic detection of coronal mass ejections in WIND data, using machine learning algorithms.
2014
  • Jeremy Cassier – 3rd year of SupAero. Jeremy worked on implementing a relativistic pusher in my Particle-in-Cell code and on correctly initializing Maxwell-Juttner velocity distribution for ion-electron relativistic current sheets, following a method initially developed by Mickael Melzani. This internship was co-supervised with Illya Plotnikov at IRAP.
  • Jeremy Dargent – M2 Astronomie et Astrophysique d’Ile de France. Jeremy successfully implemented a kinetic equilibrium for asymmetric tangential current sheets in Michael Hesse’s fully kinetic code. Jeremy continued his work as the begining of his PhD.
Teaching in Classes
I taught during the three years of my PhD (monitorat),  at university of Versailles St Quentin. I taught mainly to 2nd year student at the university and at ISTY engineering school.

  • Electromagnetism (Tutorial and practical classes)
  • Wave optics (Tutorial and practical classes)
  • Special relativity (Tutorial classes)
