I’m a postdoctoral fellow in philosophy of biology at UCLouvain and an associate member of IHPST (Paris 1 & CNRS)... 
.




​... as well as a comic book character exploring the philosophy of science universe.
My research concerns the history and philosophy of biology, epistemology 
​and philosophy of science, with forays into the philosophy of psychiatry.
My main FSR post-doc project at the UCLouvain focuses on biological possibility. I am also working on historical contingency and development, on stochasticity in gene expression, and I'm working on a paper on the role of chance as an abstractor in molecular biology. I am one of the editors of a special issue of the French journal, Lato Sensu, called Vagueness in Sciences, which was published in 2024. I will soon commence work on single-cell approaches.
