Research themes
My research is devoted to study and model snow - its microstructure (shapes, orientations, proportions) and the physical processes that take place (in particular heat transport, mass transport, crystal growth). Those studies are performed at the "physical" scale of snow, i.e. scale of ice grains (micro-scale, mm), and at the scale of a snow layer, which is the scale required in snowpack modeling (macro-scale, few cm), aiming to describe the snow behavior at macro-scale equivalent to the one at micro-scale. I relies mostly on experimental data from lab and field studies, especially from 3D scanning of snow (tomography), on upscaling methods, and on numerical simulations.
