03/2017 - now: Fellowship position (Program FONDECYT) at the Universidad de Chile, in Santiago (Chile). In the context of high-mass star formation I sought the effect of the dynamics on the formation of the densest structures. I put in light the relation between large-scale flows at the origin of large-scale low-velocity shocks, and high star formation rate (see Louvet et al. 2016a). I scrutinized the earliest stages of high-mass star formation with the ALMA interferometer: Louvet et al. 2018b, Motte, Nony, Louvet et. al 2018 (Nature Astronomy). My recent work consists in putting constraints on the effect of magnetic field on high-mass star formation.
11/2014 - 02/2017: Postdoctoral position at the Universidad de Chile. I worked on the accretion-ejection problem in Class II proto-stellar object (Supervisor: C. Dougados). I focused on characterizing the origin of the outflows and jets with ALMA data - the observational features were further compared with ejection models (see Louvet et al. 2016b and Louvet et al. 2018a) 09/2011 - 09/2014: PhD in Astronomy, Université Paris-Sud, Gif-sur-Yvette, France. PhD research work pursued at the CEA of Saclay dedicated to massive star formation. I conducted a thesis based on interferometric data, with constant efforts to compare its results to models (see Louvet et al. 2014). Title of the manuscript: Hypermassive molecular clouds, shocks and star-formation efficiency. PhD supervisor: Frédérique Motte. 06/2011 - 09/2011: Internship at ESO, in Garching, under the supervision of Anaëlle Maury. This first astronomical experience consisted on an analysis in the uv-plane of a proto-star of Class 0 to determine if circumstellar disks were already formed at such early stage. 09/2006 - 02/2011: Degree of Engineer from EPF (grade of Master). The degree was acquired after a theoretical internship at the CEA-DAM of Bruyère-le-Châtel. The subject of the research was the instability of Rayleigh-Taylor, and its applications to the supernovae-remnants (see Bouquet, Conte, Kelsch, Louvet et al. 2017). Supervisor: Serge Bouquet. |
