I am a theoretical ecologist studying microbial communities. After completing my PhD on niche construction in ant-aphid interactions at iEES Paris, I moved to the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, for my first postdoc in Sara Mitri’s lab, where I worked on modeling microbial interactions in the context of bioremediation. As part of the “Evolutionary Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases” team, I combine several approaches to investigate the ecology and evolution of commensal bacteria. I use data-driven analyses, theoretical tools such as Adaptive Dynamics, and individual-based modeling to study the ecology and evolution of virulence in commensal E. coli. I am funded by the EvoComBac ERC project led by François Blanquart.
