About 🔍

Since Oct. 2025, I am Junior Professor at the University of Toulon (Toulon, France) and a member of the Centre de Physique Théorique, CPT (Luminy Campus, Marseille, France). Life in the south-east of France, on the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur), is like winning the lottery. I like applying nonlinear dynamics and dynamical systems theory to a wide range of environments. Previously, my work focused on resonances and chaotic transport in near-Earth space. Currently, I lead a chair dedicated to studying the nonlinear dynamics of swarms of underwater drones.

News and announcements 📢

Two papers currently under review - both on arXiv:
- Leveraging temporal features of the divergence measure to detect chaos in conservative systems, with Tamas Kovacs (Eotvos University),
- Uncontrolled geostationary satellites: mapping periodic transitions to chaos with Lagrangian Descriptors, with Roberto Flores et al. (Khalifa University).
A fully funded PhD position (3 years) is planned for 2026.
A fully funded postdoc position (2 years) is also planned for 2026.

Research 💡

My research focuses on applying nonlinear dynamics and dynamical systems theory to celestial mechanics, satellite dynamics, and complex systems and environments. Areas of interest include:

Nonlinear dynamics and chaos,
Lagrangian descriptors and dynamical indicators,
Space situational awareness and debris mitigation,
Applications of dynamical systems theory to real-world complex systems.
