I was employed by EPOPé (the Obstetrical, Perinatal and Pediatric Epidemiology Research Team) based at INSERM (the Institute National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale from January 2017 until present. In 2022, I had the opportunity to submit a thesis for an Habilitation à Diriger la Recherche (HDR, authorisation to supervise research) with the Université Paris Cité.
