I am interested in fundamental plasma physics processes likely to be encountered in space. I work with data collected in-situ by spacecraft, with numerical simulations and numerical and theoretical modelling. I found a new type of electric field sustained in the 2D current sheets at the edges of plasma jets (Echim and Lemaire, Phys Rev E 2005), I provide a model for a plasma structure (slab/jet) in motion with respect to the background (Echim et al., Phys. Plasmas 2005).
