Back to all teachers

Stellar structure, evolution, and nucleosynthesis – Formation and evolution of massive star clusters and their multiple populations in a cosmological context – Stellar populations in star clusters and galaxies

After getting my PhD on “Production and destruction of lithium in stars and cosmological implications” at IRAP in the beautiful city of Toulouse, I did a postdoc in Geneva and got a job back in Toulouse at CNRS. I had the privilege to spend some time as an invited visitor at SCScI in Baltimore, MPA in Garching, ISSI in Bern and INT in Seattle. Since 2010, I have been a professor in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Geneva (UniGe). I became the head of the Department in July 2025. I have had the pleasure of supervising or co-supervising 15 excellent doctoral students and 8 post-doctoral fellows (and many Master or Bachelor students), of whom I am very proud. I was one of the four official mentors working for the Service Égalité et Diversité at UniGe for 10 years. In that time, I mentored over 60 women of all fields who aimed to pursue an academic career. I chaired several international science committees and conferences, and I am the co-author of several collective books on different topics in Astrophysics.
