  • Basic links

In any case, if you have a question or a comment, just contact me.

Contact & Vitæ

I am Maître de conférence (associate professor) at the Institut de physique nucléaire de Lyon de l'université Claude Bernard (Lyon I). Here is my professional address:

Institut de physique nucléaire de Lyon, 4ème étage, bureau 419, 4, rue Enrico Fermi, 69622, Villeurbanne cedex - FRANCE

Snovae team

I am head of the Supernovæ team, the astrophysics/observational cosmology-oriented group in IPNL.

Vitæ

Curriculum Vitæ en français (2010, PDF), in english (2011, PDF).

Science

Domains of interest

Observational cosmology

I am deeply involved in the Nearby SuperNova Factory, and more specifically in the development of the SNIa-dedicated photometric integral field spectrograph SNIFS.

• The Nearby Supernovae Factory, a presentation made at Irfu/CEA (PDD)
• The updated publication list with links to on-line articles.

Technical details about this project can be found on the SNfactory project twiki pages.

Integral field spectrography

More generally, my main center of interest is the integral-field spectrography (logical, if you consider I was a student of the TIGER team...) :

• Main developer of the SNifs Ultimate Reduction Package (out-of-date)
• Member of the SNfactory Calibration Task Force.
• Contributions to the 3D-oriented Euro3D - Lyon C Library):
• Development of 3D-specific tools (2D-binning, kinemetry, etc.),
• Its application to early-type galaxies (observations and modeling), e.g. : M31, M32, NGC 4621, NGC 3377
• The Euro3D working group, aimed at developping and spreading the 3D-spectroscopy.

Early-type galaxies

I was deeply (but not much anymore nowadays...) involved in the SAURON project, a scientific project which main goal is to understand the formation and evolution of early-type galaxies from 3D-observations on a dedicated panoramic integral field spectrograph.

• The updated publication list with links to on-line articles.
• Few local pictures.

Theoritical developments

As I appreciate writing funny equations, I contributed to the development of spectral dynamics.

Publications

The most up-to-date list of publications can be obtained from an ADS query.

Ph.D. Thesis

My PhD thesis (in french): Dynamique des galaxies de type précoce: observations 3D et modélisations (in english: Early-type galaxy dynamics: 3D-observations and modeling).

Teaching

As most of my students are french-speaking :), this section will be in french...

• Les ex-TD d'informatique du module d'info (1ère année) du Magistère Sciences de la Matière de l'ENS Lyon (avec les énoncés et corrigés).
• L'ex-page informatique du DEA d'Astrophysique & Milieux dilués (avec en particulier les documents de cours en ligne).
• Le cours Méthodes numériques pour la physique (essentiellement un cours de Python scientifique), du Master 2 de Physique Fondamentale de Lyon 1.

Pour les profs, c'est par ici (accès restreint)

Software

Here are few simple softwares I developped for my own purpose, but which might prove useful (but I doubt...).

• Makefile.latex: a LaTeX makefile, possibly up to PDF conversion, and including bibliography and index generation if needed (with bibtex and makeindex). E.g.:
  • make toto makes the DVI file from toto.tex and view it,
  • make toto.pdf makes the PDF file from toto.tex.
  This makefile does not handle the chapterbib multiple bibliographies. Based upon Dave Richerby's and Doxygen's LaTeX makefiles.
• makehtmlgallery: a simple yet efficient awk-script to make an HTML gallery with thumbnails from a list of images. The conversions are done with Image Magick, and the script is a modified version of makehtmlgallery initialy developed by Heiko Purnhagen.

Miscellaneous

Other webpages

I set up a external page for some tests (blog, SPIP). I also have a SNfactory-related TWiki page.
