Laboratory of astrophysics of Bordeaux


After obtaining a PhD in Physics at the University of Bordeaux in 1989, I have been an Alexander van Humboldt fellow at the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie in Bonn, Germany, for 2 years. I am now an astronomer at the Laboratory of Astrophysics of Bordeaux since 1991. My field of research is the study of the interstellar medium and star formation. I am in charge of the conservation and promotion of the astronomical heritage of the Observatory of Bordeaux and, in 2009, I was responsible in the Aquitaine region for the International Year of Astronomy. I teach physics and courses in personal and professional project for the students at the university, and I use to go in classrooms to interact with children and to work with teachers on astronomical projects.

I really enjoy sharing my knowledge with the children and the general public.
