Welcome to my personal research website! I’m excited to have this space to share my work, thoughts, and journey in X-ray astrophysics.

What You’ll Find Here

This website serves as a hub for:

  • Research updates – summaries of ongoing projects and new publications
  • Technical notes – occasional posts on methods, tools, and techniques I find useful
  • Reflections – thoughts on the scientific process, career, and the broader questions that drive us

About My Research

I work at the intersection of X-ray astronomy, galaxy clusters, and cosmology. My current focus at CEA Paris-Saclay involves developing detection algorithms for the next generation of X-ray surveys, combining observational data with sophisticated simulations to understand the physics of the most massive structures in the universe.

Beyond the Observatory

Science doesn’t exist in a vacuum. When not at the computer analysing data or writing papers, you might find me:

  • Climbing rocks (both indoors and outdoors)
  • Running trails in the mountains
  • Recording episodes for the Pilgrims of the Kosmos podcast
  • Reading philosophy of science

I believe these activities aren’t separate from my scientific work—they’re part of the same drive to explore, understand, and push boundaries.
