About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Officially studying how oil spills in sea ice, informally discovering and learning all I can learn from Alaska

I like to meet people around one or several beers, discussing about everything and nothing, confronting thought and ideas, talking about the world and our discoveries,...

I was born in Switzerland, where I grew up, get to university and was hired for my first job. A journey to New-Zealand, Australia and the United Arab Emirates gives me the thirst of discovering and adventure. Back to home, I decide to begin a PhD in Alaska on Sea Ice. At this point, I'm not disappointing by the wilderness of this country. Just amazing.
