Coupel-Ledru Aude

After my PhD at LEPSE in the ETAP team (2012-2015) and a first post-doc in the MAGE team (2016-2017), I carried out two post-doctoral fellowships abroad (2017-2018, Agropolis + AgreenSkills double Fellowship, post-doctoral fellowship shared between UMR AGAP and the University of Bologna in Italy; 2018-2020, Marie Curie Individual Fellowship, post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom).

Since September 2020, I joined LEPSE, first as a post-doctoral researcher funded by INRAE's "European Talents" programme, and then as a permanent Research Fellow in June 2021 after having obtained the national "CRCN on project" competition of INRAE.

I am particularly interested in the mechanisms that control water use by plants and their interaction with those that govern growth and production. I initially focused on drought adaptation, and then extended my studies to its effects in combination with temperature and atmospheric CO₂. I integrate different scales of responses (cell, organ, whole plant and population) with methods that I have adapted from different disciplinary fields (cell physiology, whole plant ecophysiology, molecular and quantitative genetics).

The list of my publications is available on my Google Scholar profile (link below).
