My research interests focus on animal behaviour and sexual selection. I am fascinated by how animals vary in their personality and how this might help or impair them when coping with everyday life challenges. In particular, I am interested in how animal personality has arisen and is maintained. Recently, I focused on how different personality traits relate to behaviours that are shaped by sexual selection and how they impact an individual’s survival and reproductive success.

I started my scientific education at the University of Lorraine in Nancy (France) where I received my bachelor’s degree in biology and Environmental Studies. My undergraduate research focused on personality traits of early life stages in pikeperch and on the study of the morphological profile of cannibals and cannibalized individuals.

​I finished my master’s degree in 2018 at the University of Burgundy, Dijon (France) studying Behavioural Ecology and Wildlife Management.

I did my first year of master’s thesis at the Wildlife Evolutionary Ecology Lab, Memorial University of Newfoundland (Canada). My research focused on the seasonal variations in sociality and gregariousness in caribou.

I did my second year of master’s thesis at the University of Helsinki (Finland) in the Antzz team. My research focused on the way ant larvae signal their hunger and how the intra-colony relatedness impact the honesty of the signal.

​In October 2018 I started my PhD at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna (Austria), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Eva Ringler. My research focuses on the interplay between animal personality and sexual selection in poison frogs. Recently I moved to the University of Bern (Switzerland) to pursue my PhD thesis. This project aims at investigating how personality differences are reflected in behaviours such as male-male competition, space use, mate choice, and parental care. I will also investigate how these differences ultimately affect an individual's survival and reproductive performance. For this project, I will study a closed experimental population of neotropical poison frogs (Allobates femoralis) on a river island over multiple generations.
