As an Assistant Engineer within the EEC team, I contribute to the design, implementation, and coordination of experimental research projects. My work focuses primarily on evolutionary ecology, including studies of protist dispersal (using Paramecium and Tetrahymena) in metapopulations, the adaptation of communities to environmental stressors (such as temperature and salinity), and host–parasite coevolution using the Paramecium caudatum–Holospora undulata model system. I also contribute to the development of a biodiversity monitoring project in temporary ponds in southern France as part of the PREZODE programme (ZOOCAM).
As the coordinator of 4 experimental facilities, I oversee the planning and coordination of experiments, as well as the management of laboratory equipment, biological collections, and consumables. I provide methodological support to researchers in the design of experimental projects and train students, PhD candidates, and staff in experimental techniques and good laboratory practices.
I also contribute to scientific communication and public engagement by managing the EEC team and GDR Theomodive websites, co-organizing several scientific conferences (e.g., Biodiversity in Equations 2026), and participating in biodiversity outreach activities for primary school students.
