In my teenage years, I stumbled upon greater horseshoe bats hibernating in an ancient fortress in Brittany, France. That moment sparked a fiery fascination with bats, motivating me to pursue a career in bat research across Great Britain, Ireland, Switzerland and Panama. Though I've taken a step back from academia, my connections with bat enthusiasts worldwide remain strong.

Beyond the research realm, I have lent my expertise to consultancy firms in France and Germany, specializing in pre-installation acoustic monitoring and post-installation bat fatality investigations at wind turbines. Since July 2023, I've been crunching data as a vital part of an engineering team driving the energy transition.

Off the clock, I am recently involved with the French Society for the Study and Protection of Mammals (SFEPM) and the German Bat Observatory (Deutsche Fledermauswarte), working to minimize bat casualties at wind farms. Our mission? To combat the climate crisis with sustainable energy solutions while safeguarding biodiversity.
