Scientific biography

Engineer and researcher, I hold a permanent position from INSERM as a research engineer in Serge CHARPAK’s team. I am a microscopist and a neuroscientist. I design and develop new tools for quantitative neuroimaging with optical microscopy. I graduated in 2001 from ESPCI-ParisTech, a french "grande ecole", providing a master-level multidisciplinary training in engineering, physics and chemistry. For my PhD I studied neurovascular coupling with 2-photon microscopy imaging and became a Doctor in Philosophy from Sorbonne University (Paris 6) in 2005. Then I worked as a post-doc research fellow, mainly in University College London, and I performed research and development both in microscopy and in neuroscience. In 2015 I got a permanent position at INSERM in Paris, and since I have been focusing at research and development of microscopy and modelling tools to study neurovascular coupling.
