About Me
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow on the CLIMTREE project (ANR/Belmont Forum) and InfoBioS project (FEDER) at the Research Institute on Insect Biology.
I work with molecular data (metabarcoding-like) to answer ecological questions and assess biodiversity.
Highly motivated and finishing my fellowship at the end of 2021, I am seeking a laboratory for a potential postdoctoral research!
Feel free to contact me!
