I am a multidisciplinary scientist, exploring the links between climate changes and biodiversity over long time scales through numerical modelling. After working at reconstructing past environments of Southeast Asia, I completed a PhD in modelling past climates of Africa at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement (Institut Pierre-Simon-Laplace, IPSL) and the University of Poitiers.
After a two-year postdoc in the climate modelling group at UC Santa Cruz, I was hired in 2010 as a full-time researcher at CNRS. My current project aims at understanding the links between paleogeography, climate changes and biodiversity through time, my core tool being the Earth System Model IPSL-CM5A2, that we published in 2020.
I am a member of the French Deep-Time Paleoclimate Modeling Group, and was co-head of the climate modelling team at LSCE from 2018 to 2024. I am associate head of research of the Geosciences Graduate School at Université Paris-Saclay. From 2015 to 2023, I was in charge of the French paleoclimate modelling computing project, operating 50+ millions hours on French supercomputers through GENCI.
