Who am I ?
​I am currently a postdoctoral research associate in astrophysics at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia. I was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship by the Quebec (Canada) government in 2020. I obtained my PhD at the Observatory of Geneva in Switzerland in 2019, for which I obtained an excellence mobility fellowship from Quebec. I was based before at Université Laval in Quebec, where I received the Hubert-Reeves fellowship for my research in astrophysics, an Excellence in Science Award from the CNRS in France and a scholarship from the European Space Agency. 

What am I working on?
​The focus of my work is to understand the evolution and formation of galaxies by studying their kinematics. I use integral field unit (IFU) observations in the infrared and optical and radio/submillimeter observations to probe the ionized and molecular gas at redshift between ~0.5 and 3.5. I also work with lensed galaxies and  low-redshift galaxies considered analogues to high-redshift galaxies (the DYNAMO sample).
