Position and past experience

* 2023 Ph.D. in Physics of Complex Systems, Université de Bordeaux ; Thesis: “Kinetics of Transport-Influenced Reactions in Complex Media” (supervisor: Thomas Guérin)

* 2020 M2 Physics of Complex Systems, Université Paris-Saclay

* 2018 Bachelor in Physics, University of Coimbra

Current affiliation

LAI Inserm U1067 / CNRS UMR 7333 / Aix-Marseille Univ

Current research interests

Statistical physics, biophysics, stochastic processes, first-passage problems, reaction kinetics in complex and compartmentalized media, kinetic transport theory.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Jean-François Rupprecht at LAI (Marseille), working on the biophysics of neuronal development. Specifically, I develop kinetic reaction-transport models to understand how stochastic tip dynamics shape the complex morphology of dendritic arbors in Drosophila sensory neurons.
