He has done a bit of everything. After graduating from Aix-Marseille Université in 2022, he joined the MEME program and attended courses at multiple European universities. As part of these rotations, he also joined ongoing research projects in various fields, ranging from the speciation genomics of weevils to behavior in Heliconius butterflies. In the meantime, he conducted independent research focusing on the taxonomy of Buthid scorpions and the biomechanics of venom spraying. In his words, he is very excited to join the Swain lab later this year, where he intends to curate and analyze large biodiversity datasets to investigate some of the macroevolutionary processes responsible for shaping the modern biosphere. Outside the lab, you might catch him hiking, shooting film, or playing fingerstyle guitar!

We are a new lab and are actively looking for people at all levels (undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral researchers) to come and work with us. If you are interested, please reach out directly to Prof. Swain (answain@umich.edu).
