Before I fell into biology, I studied statistical physics and a little bit of musicology at École Normale Supérieure in Paris.
During my PhD at Sorbonne Université, I worked on several aspects of bacterial population dynamics and their interactions with the immune system in the gut, at the onset of infection.
During my postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Plön, Germany, my research took a more evolutionary direction. I developed models investigating
the selection on the life-history traits of host-associating microbes, importing methods from demography into the field of microbiome research.
In March 2023, I started my own group at the Turing Center for Living Systems in Marseille, France. With the wonderful team I have the privilege to be surrounded by, we investigate the mathematical principles underlying microbiobial community dynamics, with projects ranging from molecular aspects of bacterial stress responses to host-population-scale questions.
While I currently do not have any teaching duty, I see transmission as an essential part of my job, and particularly enjoy helping scientists-in-training develop their critical thinking. When not in the lab, you can most often find me dancing Lindy Hop or in an opera hall - whether in the public or, occasionally, on stage!
