About
I am interested in understanding how plants perceive their environment and adjust their growth accordingly. During my PhD, I studied the mechanical response of plants to water availability, focusing on the protein FERONIA. Currently, I am investigating how drought stress impacts plant physiology and developing a tool to detect early signs of drought stress in plant leaves through image analysis. My upcoming project aims to use mechanical forces to make plants more resilient to environmental stresses, promoting sustainable agricultural practices in the face of climate change.
With a background in molecular and cellular biology, I developed an experience on plant development and ecophysiology with a particular attention to quantitative biology in every project. My research uses quantitative image analysis and complex statistical analyses, including machine learning, to understand complex biological systems.
I come from Reunion Island (a beautiful French tropical island near Madagascar, with better weather than London!). When not working I like baking, climbing, dancing (Lindy Hop, Rock, Ballroom dancing), traveling, kitesurfing, reading, …
