I study the oldest wanderers of the solar system.

I’m an astrophysicist specializing in small bodies, including comets, asteroids, and other relics of planetary formation. My research focuses on understanding the origins of these icy and rocky objects and what they can tell us about how our Solar System formed and evolved.

I earned my PhD in 2022 from the University of Bourgogne Franche-Comté in Besançon, France, where I investigated the origins of nitrogen-rich comets. Since then, I’ve expanded my research to explore the connections between the composition of small bodies, their dynamical histories, and the evolution of the planets themselves.

I’m currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur in Nice, where I combine numerical simulations and observations to reconstruct the early history of the Solar System. My work spans everything from the formation and migration of giant planets to the journeys of comets and asteroids, bringing together different pieces of evidence to better understand how our planetary neighborhood came to be.

Beyond research, I’m passionate about science communication. Whether through public talks, outreach events, or writing, I love making planetary science accessible, engaging, and fun. I also write science fiction, weaving my fascination with space into stories that explore the unknown and, hopefully, inspire a little curiosity and wonder along the way.

I currently live in Marseille with my husband, an (exo)planet hunter, and our two cats, who contribute absolutely nothing to science but demand frequent attention.
