    I am a 26 year-old French researcher who has been living in London for 5 years now after having moved a lot around France as a kid. When I am not running to the next science and art exhibitions, I enjoy running marathons. Younger, my favourite movie was Jurassic Park and I wanted to be a paleontologist. I also have two sister who are or studying to become engineers. One has been French champion in gymnastics twice, the other has a rabbit named Panda and a horse called Surfeur. I am the boring one of us three 🙂

  • My Work:

    My work focuses on inventing new technologies for assessing the state of the heart and the arteries that are connected to it.

    We’ll have to talk about this in details!

  • My Typical Day:

    Shouldn’t this question be plural?

  • Read more

    There is no such thing as an average day! I can be in the lab collecting data, behind my desk analyzing them, meeting with friends to plan the next science outreach project or attending a seminar talk which are plentiful in my division. I also meet with my supervisors and collaborators regularly to discuss my results and plan the next steps of my research. My daily schedule is entirely up to me, which allows me to pursue other interests outside of work.

  • What I'd do with the prize money:

    Do science outreach at a music and art festival

  • Read more

    My Department has been successful in securing a stand at the Greenman Festival, an independent music and art festival, in Wales next August. There is a science section (the Einstein’s Festival) and we will run some activities showing how basic physic phenomena can be used to image the human body. I will use the £500 to design even cooler activities!
