Short Bio

I started my higher education in France, and after four years studying chemistry, I embarked on the adventure of discovering the German way of working at the University of Stuttgart, as part of a double degree. This was the perfect occasion to discover the fascinating world of biochemistry and biosynthesis — though organic chemistry still holds a special place in my heart.

Outside the lab, I love to travel and discover new things, particularly anything related to history, geopolitics, fashion, and art — and I try to make time for sewing whenever I can. If I hadn’t chosen chemistry and science, I probably would have gone into geopolitics or become an air traffic controller!

So talk to me about history, fashion, and geopolitics all combined, and I might just not stop talking.My goal for after the DN is to join a research group for a postdoctoral position in a country yet to be discovered and ultimately to join the R&D department of a chemical company.
