I hold a master’s in mechanical engineering (INSA Lyon, France). I began journey into biomedical engineering with a research internship at Ampère Lab (Lyon), where I developed models for a hydraulic/pneumatic artificial heart.
My PhD research at LBA and CRMBM Labs (Marseille, France) focused on in vivo biomechanical analysis of the abdominal wall. Using dynamic MRI and biomechanical modeling, I analyzed the abdominal wall behavior and developed methods to predict outcomes and assess recovery in patients with hernias.
Currently, as a postdoctoral researcher at the Microstructure Mapping Lab, co-supervised by Profs. Ileana Jelescu and Clarisse Dromain. I am focusing on improving esophageal and rectal cancer management by using advanced MRI biomarkers. My work aims to develop and validate quantitative diffusion MRI techniques for assessing tumor biology and predicting treatment response. By integrating imaging, clinical, and molecular data, I aim to advance personalized treatment strategies for patients.
