Giant planets & Exoplanets
Back to all teachers

Giant planets, atmosphere, Interior, observations

After a PhD focused on the theory of interior structure and atmospheric dynamics of giant planets, I have studied numerically how their orbits evolve during the first few millions years of their existence. This so-called migration influences the whole life of their system, including the distribution of lower mass planets. I am now studying the atmosphere of exoplanets using ground-based observations, starting from giant planets and aiming for lower masses as our techniques improve. My motivation is really to push our analysis skills at their limits and exploit at best existing and future observations to understand distant worlds. Essentially, I aim to develop a global understanding of planets (particularly giant ones) using all available methods and allowing to put our own solar system into perspective.
