About
Summary
I a currently a post-doctoral scientist in EMBL, in the Nédélec lab, Cell Biology and Biophysics. I use tools from theory and simulations to study biological processes at the cellular scale. Modelling allows me to better understand experimental results as well as guide the design of experiments, and analyze experimental data.
I started my studies in biology, but I switched to physics upon entering Ecole Normale Supérieure (Paris), in order to have a more quantitative understanding of biology. I did my PhD in biophysics in laboratory of theoretical physical chemistry in ESPCI, Paris, where I worked with Pierre Sens on membrane trafficking.
I am capable of developing theory relevant to study the biological process, as well as developing state-of the art simulations. I also develop image and data analysis software. My goal is to use these abilities to find novel biological results by providing powerful computational tools to the lab.

I had the chance to address several issues in collaboration with experimentalists :
- Endocytosis in yeast
- Deformation of blood platelets during activation
- Analysis of reconstituted meiotic spindles
- Mechanics of nuclear actin contraction
