I am currently post-doctoral researcher at the Argelander Institut für Astronomie of the University of Bonn. In my scientific work, I am using gravitational lensing (strong and micro-lensing) as a tool to make progresses in three different research fields: '''Cosmology'''; '''Dark matter content of galaxies'''; '''Structure of quasars and active galactic nucleii'''. I am also interested in the development of new techniques to tackle astrophysical problems. More detailed information on my research can be found in my [[Main.Research | Research]] page.


Soon after the start of my PhD thesis with Jean Surdej at the University of Liege, I received an ESO Studentship to pursue my PhD at ESO Chile under the supervision of Damien Hutsemékers. During those years I discovered the joy of working in world-class observatory and learning the subtilities of observation at the New Technology Telescope in La Silla. I spend my research time between the study of AGNs and of gravitational lenses through imager, spectrographs and Wollaston prisms. While I was carrying a polarimetric survey of quasars I discovered the lensed quasar J1131-1231. In April 2005, I defended my PhD thesis entitled Quasar pairs and gravitational lenses: Observational study and observational applications.
In June 2005, I started my first postdoc at the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique (LASTRO) of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) with Dr. Frederic Courbin and George Meylan. I spent most of my research time collaborating to the launch of the COSMOGRAIL monitoring project, and to study various gravitationally lensed systems.
In September 2008, I started to work as a Humboldt Fellow at the Astronomisches Rechen Institut (ARI) of University of Heidelberg, in the group of Prof. Dr. Joachim Wambsganss. During that time I strengthened my expertise in cosmological microlensing. I developed microlensing as a tool to study the broad line region in AGNs and obtained the first measurement of the BLR size from microlensing monitoring. I stayed at ARI until June 2011. At that time, I have been awarded a DFG grant (SL 172/1-1) for a project entitled New methods for probing dark matter in galaxies with gravitational lensing.
