My scientific interests are currently focused on spectral retrieval and observations of exoplanetary atmospheres using transit spectroscopy from space (Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes) and the ground (IRTF, VLT, TNG...). This subject is very trendy at the moment, and I have several ongoing collaborations both in Europe and the US.


A large fraction of my research time is also devoted to the planning of a new mission concept for exoplanet characterisation proposed to ESA in December:




ECHO: Exoplanet Characterization Observatory
