Numerical solver for direct simulation of soluble surfactant-laden interfacial flows.
Core of my PhD: development and validation of a coupled Volume-of-Fluid / Phase-Field method for soluble surfactant transport (bulk and interfacial transport, adsorption-desorption kinetics, Marangoni effects), implemented in Basilisk. Work submitted to Journal of Computational Physics.
2024 – présent
Theoretical models for multi-interface systems from the linearized Navier-Stokes equations.
Carried out during a research stay at IIT Bombay (Prof. Ratul Dasgupta): development of theoretical models for N-interface systems (linearized Navier-Stokes, Helmholtz decomposition, modal expansions) and analytical and numerical studies of three-phase water-oil-air flows. In preparation for Journal of Fluid Mechanics.
2024 – présent
Theoretical and numerical study of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability with surfactants.
Study combining analytical modeling and high-resolution simulations (coupled VOF / diffuse-interface method) of the influence of surfactants on the growth of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Presented at BIFD 2026 (L'Aquila).
2023 – 2026
Orbiting, colliding and merging liquid lenses on a soap film, toward gravitational analogs.
Collaboration (published in PNAS Nexus, 2026) on the dynamics of liquid lenses floating on a soap film — a model system to explore analogs of gravitational interactions.
2023 – présent
Open-source research code for soluble surfactant transport in Basilisk.
Development of a solver (bulk and interfacial transport, adsorption-desorption kinetics, Marangoni effects) shared in the Basilisk sandbox. Add the repository link in the "repo" field below.
2024 – présent
Educational videos (FR & EN) on scientific programming and computational fluid mechanics.
Creating educational content in French and English: languages for scientific computing, numerical algorithms, fluid mechanics simulations (Python, Basilisk…). Add the channel link in the "demo" field below.
Projet personnel
Mobile & web application computing prayer times from the Sun's position.
Personal project at the intersection of astronomy and software development: computing the Sun's position (solar declination, equation of time, hour angle) to determine prayer times from latitude, longitude and twilight-angle conventions. Built in Flutter (Dart) for Android, iOS and web.
