I grew up in the South of France and quickly became fascinated by predatory arthropods. Unsurprisingly, I spent most of my childhood rearing and breeding scorpions and centipedes, spanning over 30 native and exotic species. After graduating from Aix-Marseille Université in 2022, I joined the MEME programme and attended courses at multiple European universities. As part of these rotations, I also took part in research projects on a variety of systems, ranging from ecological speciationinHeliconius butterflies to musculoskeletal biomechanics in volvatory arthropods. In the meantime, I conducted independent research focusing on biomechanics and taxonomy in Buthid scorpions. Now a PhD student the University of Michigan, my research focuses on the ecology and evolution of giant centipedes (Scolopendromorpha)
