I am an ecologist interested in multi-trophic interactions. I integrate behavioural, chemical, and molecular approaches, to answer ecological questions related with the behaviour of insect herbivores, their natural enemies, and pollinators, in response to plant mediated cues. My research focuses on the ecology and evolution of multitrophic plant-insect interactions, with respect their application to agricultural practices against insect pests and their effects on natural insect communities such as natural enemies and pollinators.

I study how environmental cues (i.e. herbivore eggs, plant induced volatiles, and chemical compounds) shape the behaviour and physiology of interacting plants and insects, and their consequences for host selection and host specialization in herbivores, pollinators and their natural enemies.

Currently, I am working as a permanent Researcher at the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA, France), at Versailles-Gringon with major goal to integrate biological control on current cropping systems. I aim to increase the quality and novelty of my research by developing plant protection strategies, and not only on the introduction of living organisms such as predators or natural enemies but also including a more systemic approach including plant-pollinator interactions. This systemic approach to biocontrol requires to better understand the ecological interactions between differenct biocontrol agents (ie. micro-macrorganisms, products) and the properties of the entire agroecosystem.
