Biography
I'm currently working part-time as the Director of Operations of CERIE, a new French-speaking interdisciplinary training and research centre based in Paris. Launched in 2024, this Centre is the culmination of numerous sciences-faith projects led Dr Lydia Jaeger, with whom I have been working since 2007.
I completed undergraduate and graduate studies in cell biology at Cambridge University, and moved to Paris to conduct post-doctoral research at the Institut Jacques Monod, on SNARE proteins. Having left research, I was delighted to be able to use my scientific background, working alongside Dr Jaeger to create the Réseau des Scientifiques Evangéliques (French Christians in Science), of which I am still the national coordinator.
