About

Bio

I'm from France and have always been into birds. After studying biology in Paris and Lyon, I specialized in ecology, evolution, and behaviour. I earned a Master's degree at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris before moving to French Polynesia to pursue my PhD. Along the way, I had the opportunity to work in several laboratories, which broadened my scientific perspective. My research interests include animal acoustic and visual communication, cultural evolution, ecoacoustic and invasion biology. I also enjoy programming use it to explore data and develop new analytical approaches.
