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.

This is the registration page for the virtual edition of the RED Training School (June 2nd – 8th, 2026). This online Training School will feature recorded lectures from the current year’s in-person RED event. Each streamed lecture will be followed by a live Q&A session with the speaker. Throughout the week, attendees will have the chance to network with students from all around the world, connect with the lecturers, present their PhD topics (optional), and share and discuss research across disciplines. All lectures will be conducted in English.
Once your registration has been validated, you will get the login to access the interface for this virtual school.
Participants who watch the whole lecture series and succeed in short quizzes about it will receive a certificate of attendance. Live animations and Q&A sessions will be organized at CEST (UTC + 2), but you can watch the lectures and replays of the Q&A session at your convenience in your time zone.
Registrations are open until May 26th, 1 PM CEST (UTC +2).
