(mise à jour 06/2026)

I’m a manager of studies, research assistant and multimedia developer at the CEARC research centre. After my Master in mediation of environmental knowledge and Master in ecological economics at the UVSQ, I joined the CEARC as assistant of research. Now I mainly manage the M2 Responsabilité Sociétale des Entreprises et Environnement (RSEE) and the M2 Adaptation aux Changements Climatiques (ACC), and work for the IPSL Climate Graduate School (IPSL-CGS). Besides the research and educational projects, my multimedia activity is centered on the scientific-public mediation and the visual communication (such as web site construction, posters…).
