My work consists of continuing Dimitri Médétian's thesis by testing passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sensors in aquatic environments. Together with Claude Miaud, I am involved in designing and conducting field experiments to test the sensitivity and exposure time of these passive sensors in lagoon and marine environments. During these tests, I compare the effectiveness of passive sensors with the conventional method of eDNA sampling in aquatic environments, namely active filtration by pumping.

My study models are mainly bony fish (Actinopterygii) for metabarcoding analyses, as well as loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) and elasmobranchs for qPCR/dPCR analyses.
