Hi, I am Marine, a doctoral student in astrophysics at the University of Montreal.
My research focuses on the study of high-energy astrophysical phenomena such as active galactic nuclei (AGN). These are the most powerful recurrent light sources in the Universe, powered by a central active supermassive black hole emitting bright jets and winds. I am investigating the influence of these AGN on the overall dynamics and structure of the surrounding galaxy cluster. I am conducting a comparative analysis of the observational signature of AGN feedback with the Illustris-TNG cosmological simulations.

My academic career has taken me to various universities in Switzerland, Belgium, France and Canada, where I had the opportunity to work on several research topics in astrophysics but also in aerospace engineering and planetary sciences. I am also a passionate sky-watcher and have had several experiences as an astronomer along the way!
For more information on my present and past research projects, please check out the RESEARCH and MARS MISSION tabs.

Beyond research, I have consistently dedicated efforts to communicate science to the general public and advocate for the inclusion of women in science. For years, I have been engaged in youth outreach through Space@yourservice in Lausanne, Switzerland, promoting space science for all, and with Club Mars in Toulouse, a Red Planet-focused science popularization association. I am also co-organiser of Astronomy on Tap in Montreal, with regular monthly events in bars around the city.
