+I am a first-year master's student at the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon in France, where I am studying Materials Science.
+
+I am currently doing a three-month internship with [Roberto]({{< relref "/authors/admin/_index.md" >}}) and [Maxime]({{< relref "/authors/Maxime/_index.md" >}}), in which I use the Differential Dynamic Microscopy (DDM) method to study non-equilibrium fluctuations in sedimenting colloidal suspensions. I am interested in the collective phenomena that arise as the colloid concentration increases.
