About
With a deep passion for aviation and a strong scientific foundation, I bring extensive experience in cellular biology and biophysics. Throughout my research career in France and internationally, I’ve worked at the intersection of biology and physics. This interdisciplinary approach, combined with my enthusiasm for aviation and my experience as an aerobatic pilot, inspired me to become a flight trainer alongside my research position. I continue to train and study with this instructional path in mind, while remaining engaged in ongoing research projects.
