I obtained my Master degree (2014) and my PhD (2019) in Physics from the University of Geneva, under the supervision of Marcos Mariño. During my PhD, I studied the mathematical aspects of string theories, in particular finding non-perturbative realisations of the topological string. I tackled this problem through the theories of resurgence and dualities (with gauge theories and other quantum-mechanical and statistical models). I joined the LANE team in March 2019 to develop mathematical models of morphogenesis.
