Welcome to my scientific personal web page
I am a physicist, trained mainly in experimental optics, who finally didn't resist the attraction of applying what he knew to biology. A new amazing world to explore. In these pages I will try to describe my research.

NOV. 2012 POSITIONS AVAILABLE at CBS in Montpellier (France). Are you looking for a PhD or a postdoc position in single molecule biophysics? Interested in contributing and learning at the interface between optics, nanofabrication, molecular and cellular biology? Then contact me.
Funding from the ERC starting grant.
OCT. 2012 I moved to CBS (Centre de Biochimie Structurale) a CNRS/INSERM lab in Monptellier (France), in the group of single molecule biophysics, as Chargé de Recherche (CR1) within the CNRS.
