Research interests: Observational Cosmology (theoretical approach)

After a brief study of the dynamics of solid matter in turbulent protoplanetary disks (which will eventually form planets) I have worked on various problems of observational cosmology related to the formation of large-scale structures in the universe. I mainly build or investigate analytical models which I compare with observations or numerical simulations. Thus, I have studied the gravitational dynamics in an expanding universe which built the structures we observe in the present universe (galaxies,...), the evolution of galaxies and the IGM (intergalactic medium), the reionization of the universe (by stars or quasars), weak gravitational lensing effects which distort the images of distant galaxies.
