About
I joined the Sainsbury Laboratory as a postdoctoral researcher in September 2025 to study the mechanics of the mitotic spindle. I am particularly interested in how the spindle mediates chromosomal transport during the early phases of mitosis and promotes correct biorientation in metaphase. To address these questions, I perform 3D simulations using Cytosim, a cytoskeleton simulation suite developed in the group.
Before joining the lab, I carried out my PhD at the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, where I used polymer physics and 3D simulations to study how chromatin folding is influenced by DNA replication and sister chromatid cohesion.
