About

I'm a postdoc researcher at Institut de physique du Globe in Paris (IPGP). I'm interested in understanding how the critical zone, which is the living skin of our planet where water, rocks, air and biosphere interact, reacts to changes imposed by human people in the anthropocene. My goal is to develop our knowledge of the key critical zone processes interactions to help building public actions that reconcile human development with a sustainable future.

I completed a PhD at University of Rennes in France in the hydrology department. My PhD thesis was about deciphering the relative importance of climatic, geologic and geomorphologic forcings on the water residence time and transit time variabilities. This has important implications on water quality. For example, I was studying how some landscapes properties can help to reduce pollution in streamwater.

My interests include subsurface hydrologic and geochemical processes, parsimonious physics-based modeling, elements cycle especially nitrogen cycle and public policies to tackle these global issues.

Prior to my arrival in Rennes, I completed a master in hydrology in Paris. My thesis aimed at modeling residence times in crystalline aquifers with models easy to use for managers. These models enable to get sound predictions upon the renewal time of groundwater resourceq used for drinking water supply. I also received a Master degree in environmental public policies in Paris.

Putting aside science, I like to run, hike and travel.
