Research Experiences

2023 - present : Research scientist at CRPG - CNRS - Université de Lorraine

2022 - 2023 : Researcher at Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics (IDYST) - UNIL
I am working in the oxalate carbonate pathway in Ivory Coast to understand the interation between the vegetation and the soil in torpical environment.

2021 - 2022 : Junior lecturer at Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics (IDYST) - UNIL
I joined the Biogeoscience research group. One part of my project is focussing on the paleoenvironmental and paleoclimate recontruction in the Chobe Enclave in Botswana over the Quaternary.

2017 - 2021 : Postdoctoral Position at Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz
I joined as a post-doc position the Terrestrial Palaeoclimate research group under the direction of Dr. K. Fitzsimmons. My post-doc project is focussing on the reconstruction of past climate variations in loess-palaeosol sequences in Central Asia over the last 5 Ma.

2013 - 2017 : PhD thesis at Physical Geography Laboratory, Paris
The aim of my PhD thesis was to develop a new approach to quantify temperature and precipitation in loess sequences by studying calcite granules produced by earthworms. My work focused on loess sequences of Western Europe formed during the last glacial period.

2012 - 2013 : Master thesis at ISTerre , Grenoble
The aim of this project was to date two types of glacial morphologies (erratic bloc and glacial bedrock) using cosmogenic nuclides contained in the rock (10Be and 26Al) in order to date the deglaciation of the Mont-Blanc Massif and Maurienne Valley and to understand surface processes.
