The focus of my research is bio- and micro-fluidics, free-surface flows, hydrodynamic instabilities and turbulence.

Bio- and micro- fluidics
- Hydrodynamics of bacterial suspensions, with J. Bouvard, H. Auradou (FAST), N. Busset (I2BC) and P. Mergaert (I2BC)
- Phototaxis in swimming micro-algaes, with H. de Maleprade, R. Goldstein (DAMTP Cambridge), T. Ishikawa (Tohoku University)
Free-surface flows
- Wind waves generation, with M. Aulnette, C. Nové-Josserand, S. Perrard, A. Lozano-Duran (Stanford University), M. Benzaquen (LadHyX), A. Paquier, A. Hector, P. Balondrade et M. Rabaud
- Strange rotation in a glass of beer, with J. Bouvard and W. Herreman
- Free-Surface Synthetic Schlieren (FS-SS) - see the tutorial
Waves and turbulence in rotating flows
- Rotating turbulence on the Gyroflow platform, with A. Campagne, N. Machicoane, P.-P. Cortet, C. Lamriben, in collaboration with B. Gallet (CEA Saclay).
- Inertial waves and modes, with N. Machicoane, P.-P. Cortet, C. Lamriben, J. Boisson; in collaboration with B. Voisin (LEGI, Grenoble), L.R.M. Maas (NIOZ, Netherlands) and T. Dauxois (ENS Lyon).

Ship's wake: Kelvin or Mach angle?, with M. Rabaud
Parametric instability and cross-waves (with M. Rabaud, E. Sultan and G.-J. Michon)
A fluid Foucault pendulum, with J. Boisson, P.-P. Cortet and D. Cebron (ETH Zurich)
Turbulent buoyant mixing (with J. Znaien, J.-P. Hulin and Y. Tanino)
Experiments on the large-scale rotating platform Coriolis at Grenoble (with J. Sommeria, LEGI, Grenoble)
Early small-scale rotating platform at FAST (with C. Morize and M. Rabaud)
Instability patterns in rotating flows (collaborations with O. Daube, CEMIF / LME, and C. Nore, LIMSI).
High vorticity structures in isotropic turbulence (collaboration with J. Jiménez, School of Aeronautics, Madrid).
Low-pressure filaments in turbulence using cavitation (with E. Bodenschatz, Cornell University / Max Planck Institute).
Turbulence in low temperature helium (PhD thesis, supervised by P. Tabeling, at Laboratoire de Physique Statistique - Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris).
