about ME

I ​am a CNRS researcher (Chargée de recherche) in applied Mathematics, working at the Institut Camille Jordan in Lyon (France). 

The focus of my research is to develop, study, simulate and apply mathematical models (PDE-based, agent-based) in the context of tissue growth, and cell collective behavior. I am particularly interested in the way cellular behavior and cell-cell interactions convey properties at the scale of the colony, the tissue and the organ. 

My work is interdisciplinary and combines mathematical modeling, theoretical analysis of mathematical models, microscopy techniques, image analysis, numerical simulations and biological experiments. I work closely with biologists from various domains and with biophysicists.

I co-organize the MMCS team seminar with Arnaud Duran. The seminar takes place every other tuesday at 2pm. The seminar information can be found here. 

Key words: Mathematical modeling, partial differential equations,  macroscopic models, cross diffusion, Hele Shaw models, incompressible limit, numerical simulations.
