ABOUT ME

I am French and American and have lived in London for 10 years where I got my BSc in Biochemistry and PhD in Organic Chemistry (or more specifically Prebiotic Chemistry), both from UCL. I then co-founded a start-up before pursuing a postdoc at the Santa Fe Institute, working on agnostic life detection (or how to look for life without presupposing what it looks like). I now live in Spain and am working in the Climate Tech sector to help mitigate the effects of climate change.

I love learning and trying new things, from expanding my general science knowledge to things like designing, sewing, woodworking, and baking. In a past life I also sang Jazz professionally and led my own band.

My last words will be "How hard can it be?" (while finding out it was, indeed, hard)
