2. GRADUATE SCHOOL OF PHYSICS
I currently am the director of the astrophysical axis of the Graduate School of Physics, at the University Paris-Saclay. This axis concerns about 450 researchers, distributed over 4 laboratories:
Our goals are the following.
- We organize calls for grant proposals.
- We aim to facilitate collaborations between the different astrophysics laboratory of the campus.
- We organize a day, every year, dedicated to PhD students.

4.2. Participation to Scientific Committees
4.2.1. The Scientific Council of PCMI (2013-2021)
- PCMI
- is a national program of the Institut National des Sciences de l'Univers (INSU) within CNRS. It stands for Physique et Chimie du Milieu Interstellaire. It is aimed at bringing together the French researchers working on different aspects of the ISM: observations, simulations and laboratory experiments. Each year, it distributes operating grants. It organizes a biennial colloquium.
