• Ph.D École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (France) and Universita di Firenze (Italy), 2003.
• Director's Postdoctoral Fellow, Los Alamos National Lab, 2002–present

Research Interests:

• Statistical mechanics of long range interacting systems (self gravitating systems, vortices, wave and particles systems...), at and out of equilibrium.
• Non-linear dynamics of discrete systems.
• Rigidity percolation, and its links with experiments on network glasses.
• Dynamical elastic defects (dynamical generalization of the classic Eshelby problem), and their interactions.
