background

2022-2024 : Engineer in chemical analysis, Station biologique de Roscoff, UMR7144

Development, calibration, optimization of an in situ mass spectrometer for dissolved gases measurements in the marine environment. Implementation on the French Oceanographic Fleet’s underwater vehicles.

2019-2021 : Atmospheric scientist on Amsterdam Island, French polar institute (IPEV)

Responsible for the atmospheric chemistry programme called “GMOStral-1028” on Amsterdam Island (TAAF). This project, coordinated by the Institut des Géosciences de l'Environnement (IGE), Grenoble, proposes continuous monitoring of air pollution (mercury, emerging organic contaminants) in the southern hemisphere.

2018 : Pedagogical supervisor, Under The Pole expeditions

Maintenance and feed of the online pedagogical platform, creation and supervision of activities for school groups and general public, popularisation of science

2017 : Final year project, Ifremer

Measurements (Gas chromatography with static and dynamic headspace techniques) to study methane in the oceans. I had to compare both chromatography techniques applied in two laboratories.

 

2015-2016 : One-year internship and oceanographic campaign, Institut des Sciences de la Mer à Rimouski, Canada

Methane mapping and quantification in the Arctic Ocean. I sampled and analysed (gas chromatography) seawater during two oceanographic campaigns on the CCGS Amundsen in the North-West Passage. I also worked on methane photoproduction on the samples taken during the campaign.
