Personal Statement** **I want to unravel the origin of the beauty and diversity of shapes observed in nature. To fulfill my goals I follow a multidisciplinary path combining genetics, biophysics and biochemistry. During my PhD, I explored the genetic and epigenetic patterning of apical tissues in plants. During my first post-doctoral training, I joined the biomechanics stronghold in France: The “**Laboratoire Matières et Systèmes” Complexes **at the** Université Paris Diderot **were I pioneered AFM based micro-mechanical measurements on living tissues (plant and animal tissues). In parallel, I started a long-standing collaboration with Herman Hôfte focused on the biochemistry of the plant extracellular matrix: the cell wall. Finally, during my sabbatical stay at the Sainsbury Laboratory at Cambridge University, I established a fruitful collaboration with Kalina T. Haas (MRC Cancer Unit, University of Cambridge). This led to the development of 3D dSTORM nanoscopy imaging of plant tissues. This combined with Finite Element Method (FEM) modeling led us to propose a new model for cell wall expansion, which consists of a paradigm shift in our understanding of plant growth. This opens a completely new landscape of possibilities and conceptual frameworks for the control of morphogenesis, which may also be applicable to other life forms.** **I also happily invest considerable time and effort in outreach and teaching activities. Finally, I am also interested in potential industrial applications of my research with the deposition of 2 patents.** **B.
