About me


I am a Postdoctoral researcher at The Australian National University under the supervision of Daniel Noble. I am also an Adjunct Associate Lecturer at UNSW Sydney, working under the supervision of Losia Lagisz and Shinichi Nakagawa.

Before joining the I-DEEL and Noble lab, I did my BSc. and MSc. at the University of Tours (France). I worked with Marlène Goubault and Anthony Mathiron on aggressiveness and conflict resolution in parasitoid wasps. I then moved to the University of Alabama to work with Ryan Earley as a research assistant. There, I investigated the impacts of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on the behaviour and life-history of fish. I recently completed my PhD at UNSW Sydney with Shinichi Nakagawa and Szymon Drobniak, where I assessed the plasticity and resilience of ectotherms to global warming. 

While my interests are broad, I am primarily interested in the responses of animals to rapid environmental change. Particularly, I strive to understand what drives the variation in plasticity and adaptation to changing temperatures. My research is question-driven rather than organism-driven, and I enjoy working with a broad range of organisms. I use a combination of data synthesis, meta-analysis, and laboratory experiments to address my questions in various species.
I am also an advocate for Open Science and a member of the board of directors of The Society for Open, Reproducible, and Transparent Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (SORTEE).

Outside of academia, I love surfing, travelling, and eating all the vegan food the world has to offer.

The I-DEEL lab
I live and work on the land of the Bedegal and Ngunnawal people. I pay my respects to Elders, past, present, and emerging, and extend my respects to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders who may visit this website. Always was, Always will be.
