Introduction
PhD Student in Bioacoustics
I am a PhD student at the ENES lab (University of Saint-Etienne, France).
I’m working on vocal production in mammals, from the mechanisms of sound production to the function of vocalizations. During my PhD I use multiple methods and tools such as acoustic/video recording, playback experiments, CT-scan and post-mortem investigation.

About Me
Interested in animal behavior since childhood, I decided to follow my passion through my training combining the fields of Biology, Ethology and Neuroscience.
I have the chance to live my other passion for the marine environment through trainings, such as training on cetacean with the GReC in Mediterranean Sea or my boat license, and fieldwork on marine mammals in Azores and Iceland.
I discovered the field of Bioacoustics during my internships where I studied vocalizations of cetaceans and their behavioral responses to acoustic playbacks. It is fascinating to see what we can learn about a species by studying its vocalizations and its reaction to other sounds!

Introduction
PhD. in Bioacoustics
I am currently looking for a postdoc position in bioacoustics.
I’m working on vocal production, from the mechanisms to the function, in marine and terrestrial mammals. During my PhD I used multiple methods and tools such as acoustic/video recording, playback experiments, CT-scan and post-mortem investigation.
