As an assistant astronomer of the CNAP, I give an average of 66h of lectures every year. I greatly appreciate the contact with students, which is why I favor practical teaching, with small groups of students. My favorite teaching are the training courses of one week, either when I organized it every year at the OHP for Paris observatory Masters of Astrophysics, or at C2PU in Calern for the MAUCA Master.
Master in Astronomy - Université Côte d'Azur
Since September 2020, I am the responsible of the first year (M1) of the MAUCA Master, together with Georges Kordopatis (M2) and Aurélien Crida (Masters).
