Who am I

Alexandre. A PhD student in celestial mechanics. A programming enthusiast, especially in Julia. Actually, enthusiast about a tad bit too many hobbies.

What do I do

Research

I'm working at the interface between celestial mechanics, dynamical systems and numerical optimisation. See Research for more.

Scientific outreach

I also work at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie, with the scientific outreach team. Here, I learned how to talk about science to kids and general public, and prepared several animations about science in general, and my work in particular (for instance, a roleplaying game about celestial mechanics!).

Scientific life

I relaunched and am the current organizer of the Paris Julia meetup, Julia Paris et Environ. I am also a member of the organizing committee for the JuliaCon Local Paris 2025.

Beyond work

Way too many hobbies. Currently hyperfocusing on game development with Godot.
