Primary activity: Theory and simulation of high-intensity laser pulses interaction with plasmas and solid targets; high field and ultrafast plasmonics, ion acceleration, instabilities and nonlinear waves, radiation friction effects, generation of quasistatic fields and coherent structures generation, fundamental processes, modeling and interpretation of experiments, proton probing techniques.
Outreach: several activities of science popularization and education, participation to scientific committees, communication activities.

Main experiences acquired: Delopment of analytical models of laser-plasma interaction, numerical implementation, simulations with particle-in-cell codes also on parallel supercomputers, design and management of experiments, outreach activities.
