Resume

I graduated from Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC, Paris) with a main background in physics. I moved towards the biology field and got interested in Soft Matter, Membrane Dynamics and Mechanobiology. I completed my Ph.D. at the Physics Department of Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris (ENS, Paris). I continue my training as a postdoctoral researcher at the Molecular Biology Department of University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW, Dallas). My long-term goal is to become an independent researcher in an academic research institution.
