I'm a permanent CNRS researcher specializing in quantitative genetics, mainly applied to the study of the evolution of plants mating systems, and polyploidy. I am currently working at the University of Lille (France), at the E-E-P laboratory.

During my Ph.D., I studied the emergence of heterosis and outbreeding depression in selfing species, and the potential role of rare outcrossing events on the evolutionary dynamics of predominantly selfing populations, both by experimental and theoretical investigations.  During my post-doc at Charles University (Prague, Czech Republic) in the Filip Kolář's lab, I studied the effect of genome doubling on the evolvability of neo-polyploid lineages.
