« L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux, répéta le petit prince, afin de se souvenir. »
[Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince, 1943]

I am a student in biology at the École normale supérieure, Paris (France). I am mainly interested in the interface between biology, computer science and physics. I believe that sharing is an essential basis of science, especially in biology where a large range of disciplins have to combine and interact to improve our understanding of life.

Projects

GitLab

Rpalm3d (temporary name, 2014), a tool to analyze PALM/STORM datasets using 3D spatial point patterns. (Work in progress)

CellTracking (2012-2013), a software to track and analyse cells in fluorescence time-lapse videomicroscopy.

AntsTracking (2011-), a set of scripts implementing algorithms to track ants in noisy video recordings. It was used to determine statistics on the foraging ants strategies out of the nest. Students in Montpellier also used it to address other questions on ants movement in 2012. Another group used it in 2013. Last update on march, 2014.

A report displaying some of the capabilities of the software can be found here (in French) : Étude du mouvement de la fourmi Crematogaster scutellaris hors du nid.
The source of the program can be found here
A short manual is available (in French, 2013).

Works

Biology and biophysics

Compressed sensing imaging: towards low-phototoxicity and high-speed microscopy (Master 2 thesis, supervised by Mustafa Mir, Christophe Zimmer lab and Darzacq-Tjian lab, 2016). Preliminary implementation of a compressed sensing mode for 3D fluorescence microscopy.

Superresolution insights into c-Myc intranuclear localization (Master report, supervised by Lana Bosanac, Robert Tjian Lab, Berkeley, 2014). Preliminary analysis on c-Myc spatial organization using superresolution microscopy.

Rapport de stage (L3, 2013) on 3d PALM/STORM microscopy and analysis at the Functional Imaging of Transcription, IBENS, Paris (in French, supervised by Vincent Récamier, Ignacio Izeddin and Xavier Darzacq): Corrélation spatiale de la chromatine et de la machinerie transcriptionnelle à l’échelle de la molécule unique. Report, Supplementary materials, Slides for the oral presentation. Datasets and sample analysis in R.

Environment

Waste management at ENS, a global assessment (Écocampus, 2014, in French). Report produced by the student association Écocampus to assess how waste are perceived, handled and processed at ENS. (see also the short oral presentation).

"Rapport de TIPE" (L2, 2012) on flood forecasting (in French, collaborative work with Claire Fuentes, Manon Courtois and Hugues Alexandre): Prévision des crues dans le bassin du Cartaou (Gardon d'Anduze) : modèles numériques et études de terrain

Other

"Rapport de TIPE" (L1) on ants movement (in French, collaborative work with Lucile Rey-Cadilhac, Laurence Boulet and Lucas Torres): Étude du mouvement de la fourmi Crematogaster scutellaris hors du nid.

Community involvement

I have been involved in the coordination team of the 11th Conference of Youth (COY11), a youth-led event that gathered ~5000 young people from all over the world in Paris prior COP21.

I have been involved in several student associations, including Écocampus ENS and The Réseau Français des Étudiants pour le Développement Durable (REFEDD)
