Bio

I am a versatile researcher in physical activity and sports science. I obtained a PhD in exercise physiology. My current research focuses on the promotion of physical activity and healthy lifestyles. This work includes:

• Designing smart devices and smart living environments to assess and promote physical activity
• Testing lifestyle interventions aiming at promoting physical activity
• Developping portative technologies for the assessment of balance ability in senior people

My past research interests include:

• Exercise adaptations in sickle cell trait carriers
• Exercise adaptations in tropical environment
• Vascular alterations in sickle cell diseases
• Evaluation of red blood cell rheological properties using high frequency ultrasound
• Impact of active video games on health

Hobbies & lifestyle

I like swimming, especially in open water, outdoor activities, boardsports (skiing, snowboarding, surfing...) and camping in the wild. I have played ice hockey at national level.

I am also an active travelling enthusiast with about 2500km completed every year.
