Autobiography
During my studies, I learned about cinema. My idea was to make nature documentaries. Since I wanted to understand what I would talk about in my movies, I also studied a degree in marine biology in La Rochelle (France). Now my objective changed a little, instead of dedicating myself to documentary I would like learn science mediation and animation in general. Always mixing science and art, I enjoy travelling, painting, diving and creative things.
Research interest
In the ADSR group, my role is to do video editing to produce short clips linked to the Atlas of Deep-Sea in Azores. I have to watch video footage, mainly from the Drift Cam but also from ROVs and submarines, then I select the relevant parts and I edit them. In these videos, I have to enhance the main species to create a representative view of the diversity variation for each mount. I also take part in the laboratory work, monitoring larvae of a cold water coral (Dentomuricea aff. meteor) and to help with others tasks.
