Education

Following studies at the the Universities of Lille and Reims, I received my Ph.D. in 1996 from the University of Nancy I, where my advisors were Pr. Claude Millot and Pr. J.L. Rivail. Prior to joining the department of chemistry at the university Bordeaux in 1997, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institut für Theoretische Chemie of Düsseldorf with Dr. Georg Jansen. I obtained the accreditation to supervise researches in 2005 and was appointed Full Professor in 2009.


Research Interests

My research interests focus on the use of computer simulation methods to describe the structural, thermodynamic and dynamic properties of condensed phases : polar molecular fluids, ionic solutions, molecular crystals... I am also interested in the development of potential energy function, including models making use of polarisability to take explicitly into account non additive effects such as polarization.

Keywords :
- Computer simulations, Molecular Dynamics
- Structure and dymanics of systems
- Pure liquids, ionic solutions,  interfacial systems, inclusion compounds
- Nonadditive potentials
