I received a Master and Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Jussieu, Paris 6. I did my Ph.D. in Thomas Preat's lab, at the ESPCI, Paris, where I studied the molecular and neuronal circuits involved in olfactory memory in Drosophila. Then, I did my post-doctoral research at Harvard Medical School, Boston, in Edward A. Kravitz's lab, where I studied the neural basis of the innate and yet complex aggressive behavior in Drosophila. As a post-doctoral fellow, I focused my research on understanding the behavioral consequences of aggressive interactions, and how these can be implemented in the brain. In October 2018, I have been appointed CNRS researcher at the Research Center for Animal Cognition in Toulouse, France and started my independent research program.
