I graduated in Agronomy in 2012 and did my doctoral thesis in Prof. Menzels group in Berlin where I studied the impact of a chronic exposure to neonicotinoids on honey bees behaviour. Then I worked as a post-doc at INRA Avignon with Yves Le Conte and Fanny Mondet on a programme which aims at promoting the development and selection for honey bee colonies that are able to naturally limit the burden of varroa infestations. For my second post-doc at INRAE Bordeaux, I developped pesticide residue analysis on single individuals of the Asian hornet Vespa velutina. I study the bioaccumulation of different pesticides commonly used in different types of agroecosystems in an insect predator species.
