Biography
Jérôme Pétri is an Expert in Theory and Modeling of Neutron Star Electrodynamics and Relativistic Radiation Mechanisms in strong magnetic fields. He has tackled several problems related to relativistic plasma dynamics with special emphasizes to magneto hydrodynamics and kinetic neutral/non-neutral plasma configurations arising around compact stellar objects, investigating their stability properties. He has also developed himself several algorithm to solve nonstandard relativistic astrophysics plasma problems, like linear dispersion relations for the two-stream and tearing instabilities, evolution of the diocotron and magnetron instabilities in linear and non-linear stages, pulsar magnetosphere including strong gravity and strong electromagnetic field effects. He had computed polarized synchrotron and inverse Compton emission emanating from the striped pulsar wind or from an off-centered magnetic dipole. Recently he computed neutron star magnetospheres in general relativity including quantum electrodynamics corrections and radiation from general-relativistic rotating magnetic multipoles.
