I obtained my Pharm.D. from the University of Tours (France) and my Ph.D. from the University Pierre-et-Marie Curie and Pasteur Institute (Paris, France). I then did a postdoc at the University of Leuven (Belgium), before joining the University of Groningen in 2020.

Academic publishing and open science

Since May 2022, I am part of the editorial team of the Journal of Evolutionary Biology, the European Society for Evolutionary Biology’s society journal, as Data Editor. There, I assist authors in sharing their data and code, not only to comply with the journal’s requirements but also to allow replication and re-use of published data.
