Présentation
Je suis éthologue et je concentre mes travaux de recherche sur les mécanismes physiologiques et comportementaux qui régissent le bien-être, la santé et l’adaptation des porcs. Durant ma carrière, j’ai exploré diverses thématiques chez le porc (relation homme-animal, cognition et état émotionnel du porcelet, stress prénatal, stress social, accès à l’extérieur) et la souris de laboratoire (mortalité périnatale et comportements parentaux). Depuis récemment, je collabore sur des projets de recherche visant (1) au développement de méthodes peu invasives pour le suivi de trajectoires physiologiques, (2) à la caractérisation de la variabilité phénotypique face à des challenges chez le porc et (3) à l'étude de l'impact de systèmes d'élevages sur le bien-être et la santé des porcs. Actuellement maître de conférence à l’Institut Agro Rennes-Angers, je participe également à l’enseignement des sciences animales aux étudiants du parcours ingénieur agronome et ceux du master Sciences de l’Animal pour l’Elevage de Demain (master SAED).
