I use population genetics and genomics approaches to help understand the demographic, ecological and evolutionary dynamics of populations of organisms living in different environments, and to advise those responsible for managing these populations in the context of global change. In particular, I analyse the genomic dynamics of positive selection signatures and genetic burden, for example in the context of population spatial expansion and small, isolated populations. My research focuses notably on populations of insects (pine processionary caterpillar, ash moth), birds (titmouse) and fish (gambusia and Atlantic salmon).
Before joining the CBGP in Montpellier in 2019, I worked at the CEFE in Montpellier from 2015 to 2019, at Laval University in Quebec City from 2011 to 2015, and at DECOD in Rennes from 2007 to 2010.
