Biographical Summary
I joined the magique3D team at Inria in November 2017, I am developing new tomographic methods to better image and so better understand the Earth. From 2011 to 2016, I worked in the seismology team at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris. From 2004 to 2011 I was at UC Berkeley, first as a student and then as a post-doc after I received my Ph.D. in Geophysics in 2010. I took my undergraduate education in France at the University of Rennes 1 (1998-2004), where I first studied physics and then specialized in geophysics.
