I am a French postgraduate student who completed a Master’s degree in Marine Biology and Ecology in 2024. My expertise includes habitat modelling, ecological monitoring, 3D modelling, population genetics, and the study of how marine heatwaves affect species. My academic and professional background combines marine ecology, animal physiology, sedimentology, physico-chemical oceanography, statistical analysis, genetical analysis and both laboratory & field-based research.
I have contributed to several research initiatives involving ecological surveys, species identification, experimental work, spatial analysis and photogrammetry. I work with a wide range of analytical tools, including RStudio, Agisoft, CloudCompare, MeshLab, ImageJ and ArcGIS Pro. I am also a certified professional scientific diver (CAH 1B) and hold a boat licence, which allows me to participate in, and lead, fieldwork in demanding marine environments.
I am currently undertaking a postgraduate research project on the habitat distribution and suitability modelling of Modiolus modiolus (horse mussel) reefs in Irish waters, with a particular focus on the Irish Sea, alongside population genetic analyses of these communities. Supervised by Dr. José-Maria Fariñas-Franco and Dr. Allan McDevitt my work aims to improve our understanding of horse mussel populations and support conservation planning in the face of increasing pressures on this reef-forming bivalve. My project involves extensive data collection, geospatial analysis, long-term ecological modelling, and population genetic assessment to inform management strategies for vulnerable benthic habitats.
I am passionate about understanding how environmental change, particularly climate change, shapes species distributions and ecosystem resilience. I remain committed to research that links biodiversity, biomass, conservation, and applied marine science.
