My CV in PDF format (100KB)

Since November 2006, I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Physical Chemistry laboratory of Curie Institute, under the supervison of Professor Françoise Brochard. One of the axes of the research in our group is the characterization of the mechanical properties of a single cell, or a group of cells, using micro-manipulation techniques such as tether pulling or micropipette aspiration. For more information on what I do please check my current research page.

I obtained my PhD from the department of Physics of Brown University in May 2006. My thesis work was focused on the study of the effects of strong magnetic fields and forces on the swimming of Paramecium caudatum and was supervised by Professor James Valles. More information on this subject can be found in my PhD research page.
