Mentoring has always had an important place in my life,
from high school to research group leader.

For my team, I aim to perform innovative and high-quality research in a mutually supportive and attractive working environment, where students and collaborators blossom into satisfied and recognized researchers.

As a PI, I am committed to invest my deepest energy into the supervision of young researchers from my own team and visitors from my research network. An important proportion of my former mentees were able to pursue a career in academia.

I am always welcoming motivated students and researchers; if you are interested, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Supervisor of:

6 postdocs
5 PhD theses
5 on-going PhD theses
37 MSc theses
9 research internships
