I received my Phd Concevoir et Imaginer. Imagination, Idée et Intelligibilité du Dualisme chez Descartes in 2012 from the University of Aix-Marseille (France), where I was 'allocataire-monitrice', then 'ATER'. After my maternity leave, I was invited lecturer at the University of Geneva during Spring 2013. I am currently 'première assistante' (research and teaching post-doctoral position) at the department of philosophy of the University of Lausanne (Switzerland).

My main areas of research are :

Descartes and early modern philosophy : theories of ideas, imagination, substances and the relationship between natural philosophy and metaphysics.
Philosophy of mind.
History of medicine, especially embryology and ontology of fetal development.

I'm also interested in metaphysics and practical rationality. I like to approach philosophical questions from a historical and from a contemporary point of view.
