I am a French postdoctoral researcher from Bordeaux. 

I did my PhD (2018-2022) at the research marine station of Arcachon (Bordeaux University), under the supervision of Olivier Maire and Xavier de Montaudouin. The aim of my PhD is to investigate the influence of bioturbation processes of benthic macrofauna on biogeochemical fluxes and microphytobenthos dynamics, in order to better understand the role of benthic fauna in the ecological functioning of soft-bottom intertidal ecosystems.  

From April 2023, I have started a postdoctorate with Johan Eklöf at the DEEP. I am working on NordSalt project, specifically to study the relation between plant community, Blue Carbon and grazing/management pressures along the Swedish coast to better understand the ecological functioning of saltmarshes and how these habitats can mitigate global changes.
