     My work aims to understand how marine interactions work, mostly mutualism and parasitism, using ecological, biological, experimental and molecular tools. Most of my work have been focused on fish interspecific interactions and fish parasite ecology in both tropical and temperate environments. I am a challenge-driven ecologist and I often seek to investigate novel perspectives of well-established paradigms. For example, I recently investigated the costs associated with cleaning symbiosis, which are often characterised as being beneficial only. In the last couple of years, I also focused on how habitat degradation impact fish/parasite interactions. Finally, I also use molecular tool such as DNA metabarcoding to explore the diet and microbiome of fish.
In brief, generally, I'm interested in:

- Fish biology and ecology
- Cleaning symbiosis ecology and biology
- Dynamic between fish and parasites
- Impact of climate change on marine interactions
- Use of molecular tools to investigate diet and microbiome of fish
