Sclérochronology
FREEMA | Engineer

Within the FREEMA team, I am the lead for the Sclerochronology Unit. This discipline studies the calcified bones of fish to observe their growth rings in order to reconstruct their life history.

I am responsible for the unit's maintenance, technological monitoring, and investments. I organize and conduct sclerochronology assessments and training sessions. Depending on the research projects, I prepare scales, bone rays, or otoliths, either to estimate the annual age of individuals or to prepare them for the necessary microchemical analyses.

Within EABX, I am the head of the Aquatic Ecosystem Experimentation and Observation Platform (XPO), I am responsible for its operation and coordination, in particular with the LIFE Research infrastructure and the AnaEE-France Reserach Infrastructure.

For the Infrastructure Directorate (DISC), I am a member of the CNUE (National Commission of Experimental Units), I provide expertise and advice to the units within my scope; I am also in charge of files related to the environment.
