I am a researcher and curator for Hymenoptera at the Muséum national d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris. My research focuses on understanding the diversity and evolution of gall-inducing insects, with a particular interest in the molecular mechanisms underlying gall induction and the adaptive significance of this unique lifestyle. I specialize in the systematics and evolutionary history of Cynipidae (gall wasps), aiming to uncover how these insects manipulate plant physiology and development.
