Fascinating by the understanding and the description of natural phenomena and motivated by the challenges of global warming for our societies, I oriented my field of research toward Climate Sciences. After a Bachelor in Physical Sciences at UCLouvain, a first year of M.Sc in Space Sciences at Uliege and a second year of M.Sc in Climate Physics in Université Toulouse III, I joined the Bglacier group for a Phd on Glacier Modelling under the supervision of Harry Zekollari in March 2024.
My research aims to assess future sea-level rise du to glaciers and ice caps using 3D modelling thanks to the Instructed Glacier Model (IGM, jouvet et al.2022).
My mains scientific interests concerns Geophysics, Geophysical Fluid Dynamics and Modelling, Polar Science, Interactions and feedbacks between several components of the climate system, Impacts on societies.
Aside to my main research, I'm member of the Palestine Solidarity Network at VUB. We aims to put the pressure on our university so that it respects its commitment in favor of human rigths especially with the respect to the current imperialist war of Israel in the Middle East.
