I'm a physicist specializing in nanophotonics and photonic design, with hands-on experience in developing advanced optical components for real-world applications.

In 2022, I completed a PhD in Physics, where I focused on light–matter interactions and the design of topological photonic devices, including integrated lasers. During this time, I also contributed outreach articles to Physics World, helping translate complex research into accessible insights.

In 2023, I was honored with the national PhD prize from the Société Française de Physique, recognizing the impact of my research in the field.

After my PhD, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at CNR-Nanotec in Italy, designing and simulating photonic crystal structures and exploring nonlinear photonic phenomena, such as bound states in the continuum (BICs).

Currently, I am a Research Engineer at CEA-Leti, where I design and simulate nanophotonic structures for imaging and sensing applications. My work includes the inverse design of metasurfaces, the optimization of Bayer pixel architectures on CMOS sensors, and the development of flat optical elements for compact, chip-compatible imaging systems.

I combine a strong theoretical background with hands-on experience in applied photonics R&D. Alongside optical modeling and inverse design, I have contributed to multi-project wafer (MPW) fabrication runs for silicon photonics, gaining direct exposure to CMOS-compatible workflows and large-scale device integration. My skillset bridges numerical simulation (FDTD, RCWA, FEM) with layout automation (GDSfactory, KLayout) and fabrication-aware design practices. I’m especially motivated by scalable, chip-integrated photonic technologies that can transition from fundamental research into real-world applications.
