I am a PhD fellow at Université Paris Diderot.

More specifically I am working on popular science in Victorian (1860-1890) period in Britain. So, I am very much into history of science, ideas and publishing.

I always wanted to play an instrument, which has not yet been accomplished. I like singing and dancing very much, although my singing is way better than my dancing skills.

Finally, I am an open-minded, easy-going (sometimes too much I guess, because both in my professional life and studies, my professors or supervisors have almost accused me of being too laid-back! I think I can't really show that very much even if I am very anxious).
