I'm a 26-year-old PhD student from France, currently conducting research in Gravitational Wave Astronomy. My work focuses on gravitational-wave astrophysics, signal processing, data analysis, and machine learning, with a strong emphasis on scientific computing in Python.
As part of my PhD, I develop software for the LISA Consortium, of which I am a member. I analyze simulated gravitational-wave data to extract key astrophysical information and develop methods for the rapid detection and localization of gravitational-wave sources.
My daily work involves designing numerical algorithms, processing large datasets, and building scientific software. I mainly program in Python and regularly use libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and PyTorch, as well as software packages developed within the LISA collaboration (e.g., waveform generators, detector response simulators, and Time Delay Interferometry tools).
Here are some of the skills and technologies I frequently use:

My main focus is on gravitational waves, I've already studied stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds and their implications on cosmology and also the inference of galactic models from gravitational waves detected by LISA by using machine learning techniques in 2 different internships.
I have worked on simulations and models related to this topic, using Python to simulate the data we receive from detectors like LIGO and Virgo.
Feel free to check out my work on my GitHub, where I regularly update my simulations and share my findings.
In my spare time, I work on quantum physics simulations, including the 2D tunneling effect and the double-slit experiment.
This project involves the use of Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) methods and is aimed at providing a better visual understanding of quantum phenomena.
I also create animations to help visualize the behavior of wave packets in different quantum scenarios.
