Mindful to the effects of current global changes on marine ecosystems, I have focused my training on understanding these phenomena.

During my first research works, I studied the impact of the temperature and ocean acidification increase on the interactions between calcifying and/or photosynthetic organisms.

Interested in chemical communication in marine fields, I started my PhD project entitled “Chemical mediation in the marine environment, an invaluable source of Ecosystem Services” (MUSE) in May 2021 at the Endoume Marine Station.
By working on the chemical cues released by sponges, I try to highlight their role in the structure and the functioning of the marine cave ecosystems.
