Sabrina CARPY

Sabrina Carpy serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Physics within the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Nantes, concurrently conducting research at the Laboratory of Planetology and Geodynamics (LPG). Her dual role integrates academic instruction with planetary-scale fluid dynamics investigations.

Her research specializes in transport phenomena involving moving fluids undergoing phase transitions (sublimation, condensation, boiling, solidification), with direct applications to planetary surface evolution. This work intersects planetary science, geodynamics, and advanced fluid mechanics, particularly examining sedimentary, matter, and chemical exchange mechanisms on celestial bodies. Her experimental approach connects laboratory-scale fluid dynamics with observable planetary morphological features.

As an educator, she delivers courses spanning fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, energy systems, fluid-structure interactions, wave propagation, and turbulence modeling with computational applications. Her research group operates within the LPG, a prominent French research unit (UMR 6112) focused on planetary formation and geophysical processes through interdisciplinary methodologies combining physics, geology, and fluid dynamics.
