I’m a PhD student in paleontology. I did my B.Sc. in Geology and Biology at the Université Savoie Mont Blanc (Chambéry, France) and I spent my Senior year abroad, in the Montana State Univeristy (Bozeman, USA), focusing on Paleontology. I did my M.Sc. in Systematic, Evolution and Paleontology at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (Paris, France) in collaboration with the Sorbonne Université (Paris, France). Both of my master thesis were focusing on the study of dinosaur remains. Since 2023, I’m doing a PhD at the Instituto Dom Luiz, Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa (Lisboa, Portugal) financed by a competitive grant (UI/BD/154498/2022) from Instituto Dom Luiz and Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia. My PhD project is focusing of the study of the Paleoecology and Paleobiology of theropods using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). I participated to different fieldwork campaigns. I have been doing fieldwork in the Late Cretaceous of Southern France (Cruzy, France) since 2017. I have also been digging in the Late Jurassic of Pombal (Portugal), Early Cretaceous of Angeac-Charente (France) and the Late Cretaceous of Poyos (Spain). I also had the opportunity to learn fossil preparation in the paleontology lab of the Musée de Cruzy (France), Montana State University (Bozeman, USA), Museum of the Rockies (Bozeman, USA) and at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (Paris, France). I had the occasion to collaborate on the projects 94073 and the projects 94086 at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility and I’m still collaborating on the study of the dinosaur faunas from Angeac-Charente and Cruzy.
