She obtained her PhD in 1990 in Toulouse and joined IMFT as CNRS researcher. She became full Professor in 2002. Her main research topics are two-phase flow in normal and microgravity conditions, bubble dynamics, breakup and coalescence, turbulence modelling, pool and convective boiling. She is involved in several national and international networks and projects on two-phase flow for space applications and nuclear industry. She is authors of 150 publications in peer review journals or proceedings of international conferences and 15 keynotes lectures in international conferences. She was associated editor of Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science (2010- 2018) and is associated editor of International Journal of Multiphase flows. She was involved the scientific committees or co-chair of several international conferences (International Conference on Multiphase Flow, International Conference on Boiling and Condensation heat transfer, Experimental Heat Transfer Fluid Flow and Thermodynamics). She was vice Chair in charge of research at the Polytechnic National Institute of Toulouse (2016-2020).
