I’ve been fascinated by the oceans ever since I spent two years on a sailing boat with my family, and I built up my academic career to become a marine biologist. After a bachelor’s degree in biology and a master’s degree in oceanography, I completed my doctoral thesis on the behavior of fish larvae at Sorbonne University (UPMC).
Two post-doctorates later (at the University of Lille 1 on bluefin tuna behavior, then at the University of Miami (USA) on Lagrangian modeling), I joined Ifremer as a researcher in applied ethology.
I use AI for automatic recognition of fish behavior, to develop selective fishing gear with low environmental impact.
