Marathon du Medoc

Science is important but it is also needed to have fun !!!!
I had the pleasure to run the Marathon du Medoc with the ICMCB team !!!
It tooks us nearly 7h to do the taste all the wine and run the 42 km :)

Happy to have obtained my Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR).
I found it to be an excellent exercise to take stock of my research and to define the direction and main areas I wish to develop in the future (even if I must admit I was a bit skeptical at first).
A big thank you to my jury for the very insightful discussions during the defense, and to all the colleagues I’ve had the chance to collaborate with, as well as the students I’ve had the pleasure of supervising, for helping me grow as a researcher!
