This manuscript presents a synthesis of my scientific work, in order to obtain the Habilitation`a Diriger des Recherches (HDR) diploma. It is an opportunity, for me, to take stock of myscientific evolution so far, as well as to reflect about the collaborative research projects that Iwish to set up and coordinate over the next few years. Within these projects, I hope to be ableto supervise and mentor many talented and motivated students and young researchers.The first part of the manuscript (introduction and chapters 1 to 3) summarizes my researchfrom 2009 to 2017 (with references to some previous research work), i. e. from the beginning ofmy activity as a permanent researcher at the CNRS.The second part (Chapters 4 and 5) presents the perspectives of my research in the future,either in the smooth continuity with the ongoing projects, or with regard to the novelties andoriginal ideas that I hope to introduce in the years to come. In the Conclusion (Chapter 6)I allow myself some personal considerations, to sketch a brief state of the art of my researchtheme and express a point of view on its evolution.Finally, in the Annexes, I present my curriculum vitae, a complete list of scientific publicationsand communications, the list of collaborative projects funded by national or international grants,as well as the list of students supervised or co-supervised during the past years.
