Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at CNRS Université d’Orléans. My research focuses on mathematical models applied to biology and medicine, such as tumor metastasis (tumor invasion and circulation in the blood vessels) and colon microbiota. I manage both partial and ordinary differential equations models, studying them from a more theoretical point of view and a numerical one. Simulations are realised using Matlab, Python, R and Monolix. In addition, I have also worked with real data coming from biologists, thus their assimilation and parameters estimations

I obtained my PhD in applied mathematics in October 2022 at the Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions (LJLL) and Università di Roma Tor Vergata, under the direction of Benoît Perthame (LJLL) and Roberto Natalini (Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo, CNR, Rome). I was also member of the Inria MAMBA team.

PhD Thesis: “Reaction-diffusion equations with membrane conditions describing tumor invasion”
