I hold a
Doctorate in Biology from the University of Tromsø (Norway, 2005). I
am the author of various works on the systematics of amphipod and decapod crustaceans. I have
worked as scientific assistant (postdoc) at the RBINS since 2006. I
have took part to several oceanographic cruises in Norway and to
Spitsbergen, and a previous Antarctic cruise on the German icebreaker
Polarstern during the winter of 2005-2006, during which I
have discovered several previously unknown species of crustaceans. Some
of my publications can be found at:

I have a Master in Biology obtained at the Université Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve (UCL). Since September 2011, I have started PhD studies at the same university, but in practice I work at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels. My PhD researches are about the biodiversity patterns and evolutionary processes in Antarctic eusiroid Amphipoda, mostly from a genetic perspective. During this expedition, I will collect amphipod samples and carry out DNA extractions, which will be used later for phylogenetic reconstructions. This is my first oceanographic cruise and my first visit to Antarctica.
