Teaching

Teaching is a core passion of mine, as I believe it's an integral part of being a researcher. Below you can find courses I've taught, students I've co-supervised, and lecture notes I wrote.

Teaching

  • Special Relativity & Advanced Mechanics

    •     Teaching Assistant at Sorbonne University, Fall 2023, 36h

    Topics covered include physics in Minkowski spacetime, group theory, relativistic particle physics and electromagnetism, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, canonical transformations, and Hamilton-Jacobi.

    Problem sets/lecture notes I wrote can be found here (in French). Each section corresponds to a 2h session. Solutions to some exercises are available here.

    The special relativity exam can be found here, with the corresponding solutions here.

    The advanced mechanics exam can be found here, with the corresponding solutions here.

    I designed a 2h introductory session on string theory for undergraduate students, taking advantage of our extra time in the schedule. The material I developed for this session can be found here.

  • Mathematical Tools for Physics

    •     Teaching Assistant at Sorbonne University, Fall 2022, 36h & Fall 2023, 36h

    Topics covered include integrals, differential equations, multivariate functions, vector calculus, multi-dimensional integrals, Fourier series, and Fourier transforms.

  • Algebra I

    •     Teaching Assistant at Sorbonne University, Spring 2022, 36h

    Topics covered include matrices, vector spaces, combinatorics, probability spaces, random variables, central limit theorem.

  • Mathematics & Physics

    •     High School Teaching Fellow at Lycée Catherine Labouré (Paris 14), 2018-2019, 64h

    Topics covered include Newton mechanics, waves (Doppler effect, diffraction and interferences), and optics.

  • Python Programming

    •     High School Teaching Fellow at Lycée Catherine Labouré (Paris 14), 2018-2019, 20h

    With a colleague (and friend) of mine, we designed & taught new Python courses.

    The material we developed, presented as a year-long criminal investigation to offer an original approach, can be found here (in French).

    Mentoring

    During my PhD, I had the opportunity to co-supervise students, under the primary mentorship of Prof. S. Renaux-Petel.

  • Nathan Belrhali

    •     Master Thesis, École Normale Supérieure, 2024

  • Arthur Poisson

    •     First-year PhD candidate, Sorbonne Université and Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris, 2023

  • Hugo Holland

    •     Master Thesis, École Polytechnique, 2022

  • Gela Patashuri

    •     Undergraduate, École Polytechnique, 2022

    Lecture Notes

    Here are some of the lecture notes I wrote during my studies. While I hope you find them useful, I can't guarantee they're free of typos or errors.

  • Differential Geometry for General Relativity

    •     École Normale Supérieure, 2020-2021, Written during the ICFP theoretical physics track

    Lecture notes can be found here. Topics covered include differential geometry (manifolds, tangent vectors, forms, tensors, Lie derivatives), Riemannian geometry (metric, covariant derivative and connection, Levi-Civita connection, torsion and curvature, parallel transport, geodesics), and advanced topics (Killing vectors, conserved charges, variational calculus).

  • Quantum Optics

    •     École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay, 2018-2019, Written during the Phytem physics track

    Lecture notes can be found here (in French). Topics covered include black body radiation, quantum harmonic oscillator, electric field quantisation, field-matter interaction, spontaneous emission, photon detection.
