Research

Forewords

So far, the research themes I have worked on can be separated in two distinct fields: the first is related to coastal processes and more precisely to sea bed ripples and wave-induced flows while the second is related to operational oceanography and more precisely to data assimilation methods for Ocean General Circulation Models.
The first theme corresponds to the topics considered in the PhD I have achieved in 2003, in the School of Civil Engineering and the Environment in the Hydraulics Research Group, at the University of Southampton. This project has been conducted under the supervision of  professor John R. Chaplin.
The second theme corresponds to the research I am currently conducting in the LEGI (CNRS Laboratory, Grenoble, France).  First, I have conducted a project during the year 2004 as a research engineer for the MERCATOR  group, under the supervision of JM Brankart and Pierre Brasseur. I am  currently working as a post-doctoral researcher funded by the MERSEA project, in the LEGI. This second project started in 2005 is due to end in February 2007.
