💼 Professional Experience
Oct 2023 – Jan 2024: Researcher at HydroSciences Montpellier CNRS Worked on processing and analyzing hydrological, meteorological, and physico-chemical data of SNOKARST. Task included gathering, processing, and analyzing data from different Karst sites in France. Objective: Keep the SNOKarst database up to date while setting up a data paper. 2022 – 2023: Researcher at HydroSciences Montpellier UM Conducted experiments and numerical modeling of solute transport in the terminal conduit of Lez spring, Southern France. Investigated the effects of conduit geometry and morphology on flow dynamics and solute transport processes. Enhanced an incipient karst genesis model, including several boundary conditions, and developed its user interface for better interaction. 2018 Internship at HydroSciences Montpellier Numerical modeling of reactive transport and dissolution in fractured limestone. Developed a tool simulating incipient karst genesis, later improved and extended with various boundary conditions. Now available on GitHub. 2016 Internship at CSTJF-PAU, Total SA Pressure transient analysis in highly fractured reservoirs. Studied the effect of explicitly modeled DFN on pressure transient analysis and explored upscaling methods of sedimentary fractured rocks.
