Well, I was born in France on the 27th of november of 1984, in a little town of the south-west of France called Rodez.
Then I have lived in Aveyron during 18 years in a very little town called Baraqueville.
All my family, and most of my ancestors lived here. I passed a Baccalauréat of Biology and Ecology in a agricultural college.
Then I left Barauqeville for Toulouse, a big town of the south-west of France.
It is a very famous town because there is here that the Airbus planes' are built and the European rocket Ariane too.
I lived during two years in Toulouse, where I done the preparatory class for the French High School of engineer.
Finally I left Toulouse for Grenoble where I still live.
Here, in Grenoble my principals extra scholar activities are the associations.
I spend all my free time in working for others.
That is why I was the vice-president of the students council of the INPG the Grenoble National Institute of Technology,
head of the pole partnership of the BNEI the national students in engineering council, elected at the administration council of the INPG, ...
I have been youth leader 6 time too. .

Then I am very fond of physic, it is one of my two passion, the other one is the policy.
That is why I am student in second year in the ENSPG the Grenoble National Engineering School for Physic.
During our studies we must choose a speciality, I chose functional materials and nanophysic.
I chose this speciality because it is the only one which enables me to do a PhD in astrophysics after my school, more particularly on the subject of black holes.
During my school I studied informatic (C++ language, Femlab, Matlab, ...), electronic, quantum physics, statistic physics, mathematics, ...
During our formation with the ENSPG we receive a double competence: an academic competence (fundamental and theorical siences) and a competence of technician or engineer (applied sciences and handling).
To have more information about my formation you can see the Internet site of my school ( http://www.enspg.inpg.fr/en/training/fr_training.htm in the heading course descriptions, I am in second year option functional materials and nanophysics,
and I have taken two others minor option : initiation à la création d'entreprise and Nuclear physics).  

Although school takes up much of my time, my other interests are road bicycling, hiking, fishing, and photography.
Arizona’s diverse terrain and weather offer many opportunities to pursue these activities year round.
