Research projects
I have participated into 38 research projects of which 21 since 2010 :
- 9 as principal or co-principal investigator,
- 7 as leader of Work Package (WP).
The projects I am currently involved in and the main projects I have been involved in the last 7 years are shown below.
Note that we are currently looking for a 2-year postdoc researcher to work in the LITOSMED project with IMBE and LCE. You can find more information here
