Research Group
I am the principal investigator of several national and international grants: Cracking the Glass Problem (Simons Foundation 2016-2024), ANR grant GLASSGO (2024-2026), and funded by the Fondation Simone et Cino Del Duca de l’Institut de France.
My group is currently composed of one postdoctoral researcher (Julien Perradin), four PhD students (Davide Paolino, Tianze Wan, Danqi Lang, Cyprien Fraysse) and a Master intern (Saskia Mank).
