Biography:

I am a French guy who wanted to see the world. That's why after my master degree in Dijon, France (the wine, bread, and cheese country) I decided to cross the Atlantic ocean just to see what is on the other side. Now I am a PhD student co-advised by Dr. Ashley Seifert and Dr. Jeremy Van Cleve. They focus on evolutionary ecology in an effort to understand the structure as well as dynamics of ecological populations and communities, life histories, and underlying behavioral mechanisms. My personal scientific focus relies on inter-species interactions, species behavior, and ecosystem engineering using crayfish in freshwater streams. If you are interested in working on these thematics, just shoot me an email, I always welcome motivated folks.

Research Interests:
