Research Statement

Until 2013 I was working in the field of gamma ray astronomy and astronomical interferometry. I progressively moved to some work in solid state physics and general quantum mechanics with a specific interest for Scale Relativity.

Languages

  • Arabic, basic.
    Basic is even too much to describe my Arabic. I started learning in 2016.
  • English, fluent.
    I moved to Iowa in 1998 and to Utah in 2004, my English remains in an improving phase.
  • French, fluent.
    I grew up in France and completed my studies in physics in Paris.
  • Japanese, basic.
    I spent a year in Japan but it was a long time ago to I am forgetting (wasuremasu).
