Scientific interests:

Polarimetry and polarimetric techniques.

(e.g., the image corresponds to artificial circular polarization made out of linear polarization by an axi-symmetrical telescope; see A&A, 260, 543, ADS)

We built two 2D solar spectro-polarimeters (for optical and near-IR wavelengths).

Transfer of polarized radiation.
The structure of the solar photospheric magnetic fields.Are the magnetic fields highly intermittent over scales 10 km or smaller?

MISMAs= MIcro-Structured Magnetic Atmospheres.
