Mon travail actuel consiste à analyser le programme expérimental COLIBRI, dont la première phase s'est terminée en décembre 2019, et à préparer le prochain programme dans CROCUS : PETALE. Je co-encadre également deux thèse de doctorat sur le développement de mesures de bruit neutronique, et le développement de mesure neutron en cœur par fibre optique, ainsi qu'une thèse en collaboration avec le CEA en France portant sur la modulation neutronique en réacteur.
