I am part of the Simons collaboration on weak turbulence, and would like to advertise postdoctoral positions for 2020-2021.




Research domains: fluid mechanics, nonlinear wave equations, harmonic analysis.

Here is my CV.

I defended my PhD, which I had prepared under the supervision of Isabelle Gallagher, in 2005; I defended my "Habilitation a diriger des recherches" in 2008.

Since January 2017, I am a Professor at the Courant Institute.

I am an editor for Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, the Graduate Journal of Mathematics, the Journal of Hyperbolic Differential Equations and DCDS-A
