My research focuses on Extrasolar planet detection and characterization, and on the development of instrumentation dedicated to this purpose. I specialized on near infra-red spectroscopy and on precise radial velocity measurements during my Ph.D., and have been working on the characterization of both the stellar signals and the minute signatures of low-mass planets. In parallel with my purely scientific projects, I have been participating in the design of high-precision radial velocity spectrographs and their pipelines.
