After a training in mathematics, I did my Masters and PhD in ecology in France. I then spent 5 ½ years as a postdoctoral researcher in ecology and evolution at UC Merced, the UO Eugene, UPenn and UC Berkeley. I am now a CNRS research director at the Institute of Biology of the École normale supérieure. My lab is interested in understanding how historical and contemporary processes shape present-day patterns of biological diversity.
