Research interests

My research activities concern the development of original computational strategies, combining several methods at different scales or level of approximations, in order to be able to investigate complex systems or for coupled experimental-theory studies. Application fields mainly concern the investigation of surfaces and interfaces systems and deals with chemical reactivity, thermodynamics, spectroscopy or dynamic processes.

 Recent research activities

  • Surface reactivity of lamellar lithium oxydes using a coupled experience-theory approach. The main contribution consists in first principle simulations of the electronic processes taking place after adsorption of a gaz probe molecules at the surface of the material in order to help at the interpretation of experimental results from XPS charaterization and improve the knowledge of phenomenon taking place.

  • Theoretical methods for the calculation of core level binding energies.

  • Aggregation of asphaltenes and complex matrices analysis. The aim of this subject is to get a better insight in the chemical and physical parameters and mechanisum associated to the aggregation of asphaltenes molecules.
