Academic activities
PhD supervision
I have supervised or co-supervised 20 doctoral students in the fields of turbulence, oceanography, marine ecology, renewable energy, stochastic processes and applied mathematics. Several theses have been conducted in international cotutelle programmes with China and Taiwan.
Scientific leadership
My scientific responsibilities span research leadership, national and international scientific coordination, and service to the geoscience community through scientific societies, research infrastructures and evaluation panels.
Editorial activities
I have been actively involved in scientific publishing for more than two decades through editorial responsibilities and peer-review activities in the fields of oceanography, geophysics, environmental sciences and nonlinear processes.
Conference organization
I have organized and co-organized numerous international conferences, workshops, summer schools and scientific sessions over the past three decades, particularly in the fields of turbulence, oceanography, nonlinear geophysics and environmental monitoring.

For more than 25 years, I have convened scientific sessions at major international conferences, including the European Geosciences Union (EGU), the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS), the European Coastal Sciences Association (ECSA) and the former European Geophysical Society (EGS). These sessions have addressed topics such as turbulence, scaling, nonlinear dynamics, geophysical fluid dynamics and coastal ocean processes.
