Welcome
I am a member of the CNRS Research staff in the Interstellaire and Odyssey groups of the Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics of Grenoble (IPAG). The main objective of my research is to understand the physical process of star formation. To this end, I devoted my work to observational studies of cores of molecular clouds, which represent the earliest phases of the star formation process. In twenty years, my path led me from the formation of a solar-type (low-mass) stars to the formation of massive star clusters and the clouds that gave birth to them.
