About
I try to uncover the secrets of microscopic fungal parasites infecting cyanobacteria, from their life cycle to their impact on harmful bloom dynamics. For this, I use a multi-scale approach, from the ecosystem level with mesocosms (i.e. Limnotrons) to populations and cells (using chemostat and batch systems).
Biography
I obtained a BSc in Biology then a MSc in Marine Biology in Université de Caen (France), and did my graduation thesis in NIOZ Texel about invasive parasites in mussels. My research focuses on the ecological role of parasites, from local interactions with hosts to their impact on large communities.
I am currently part of the PHABB European Doctoral Network, which aims to gain a better understanding of algal pathogens for biocontrol and biosecurity purposes.
