I am an evolutionary ecologist interested in how organisms adapt to their environment. 

Currently, I am a post-doc at Theoretical and Experimental Ecology Station (SETE, CNRS, Moulis, France) with Delphine Legrand and Hervé Philippe.  As was already the case in my previous post-doctorate at Colorado State University (Colorado, USA) with Ruth Hufbauer, I aim to improve our understanding of the evolutionary response of populations to environmental change.  More specifically, I study the conditions that allow declining populations in stressful environments to adapt and grow, a phenomenon called evolutionary rescue. I am studying the effects of different eco-evolutionary factors on evolutionary rescue, including the role of density dependence. To do that, as in my PhD, I am using experimental evolution and population genomics.
​
During my PhD, I studied processes of adaptation and more especially the effect of environmental heterogeneity on an organism’s ability to adapt. I worked with the invasive species Drosophila suzukii, which used a large range of host as biological system. More precisely, my research focused on local adaptation of this crop pest Drosophila suzukii to different host plants, in wild and experimental populations. I received my PhD in Ecology and Evolution from the University of Montpellier (France) in 2019.
