Léa Griton
Dr Léa Griton received a BSc in mechanical engineering from Université Pierre et Marie Curie (now Sorbonne Université) in 2013, followed by an MSc in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space engineering from the Observatoire de Paris in 2015 and then a PhD in astrophysics from Paris Science et Lettres University (PSL Research University) in 2018. She is now a post-doctoral researcher in plasma physics in the Solar System. During her post-doc at IRAP, Toulouse, she studies the origin of solar wind variability in Alexis Rouillard’s team, within the SLOW SOURCE project funded by the ERC. Being associate scientist to the BepiColombo ESA/JAXA mission and Co-I of the MEA/MPPE instrument of the MIO probe, she also explores Mercury’s magnetosphere with numerical simulations. Her other fields of research concern the magnetosphere of Uranus, and the magnetospheres of exoplanets that have not yet been discovered.
