Plant experimentation
Phenotyping measurements
Communication and documentation

After a university education in biology, I joined INRA in 2011 as a research technician. I have been working at LEPSE since January 2019.

My activities at LEPSE

My work in the MAGE team is :

  • setting up plant experiments
  • phenotyping measurements in field, greenhouse and in growth chamber
  • imaging measurements and dissections
  • data formatting

I work in plant experimentation, ecophysiology, hydric and thermal stress on cereals, especially wheat.

My collective work within the unit is :

  • communication referent with the INRAE Center in Montpellier
  • webmaster and manager of the YouTube channel
  • ddocumentation (library and inventory of the unit's publications)
  • manager of the pressure chamber
  • manager of the gas cylinder pool (compressed nitrogen, carbon dioxide)
  • manager of common parts and equipment (plant laboratory, etc.)

My previous work in entomology

Before joining LEPSE, I worked for nearly 8 years in the field of insect breeding and phenotyping. I was involved in setting up and maintaining the breeding of around ten insect species and strains for research purposes, in four different insectariums (1 private structure, 1 IRD unit, 2 INRA units). These insects have diets as diverse as haematophagy (Siphonaptera, Diptera), phytophagy (Lepidoptera, Orthoptera), aphidiphagy (Coleoptera), fruiting bodies (Diptera) and endoparasitism (Hymenoptera). I have worked in the field of experimentation and carried out numerous phenotypic measurements in controlled environments.

This experience has enabled me to contribute to scientific publications and books, and to produce documentary series for community radio stations.

I am associated with recent scientific publications :

Information to come

I write documentary series for local private radio stations.
