Atomic-scale modeling and AI for materials science

Welcome to my personal webpage. Here you can explore my research in computational materials science, including my publications, projects, teaching and supervision, collaborations, and recent academic activities. My work at the Institut de Recherche sur les Céramiques (IRCER) combines atomistic modeling and data-driven approaches to understand and design complex materials, with a particular focus on glasses, ceramics, electrochemical interfaces, catalysis, and energy-related systems.

Research overview

My research combines density functional theory, first-principles molecular dynamics, machine learning, and high-throughput computation to uncover structure-property relationships in complex and disordered materials.

I am especially interested in glasses and glass-ceramics, oxide and chalcogenide systems, electrochemical interfaces, catalytic materials, and emerging high-entropy ceramics for energy applications.
