Isabelle is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam, where she studies the dynamics of photosynthetic microorganisms. Understanding their behavior not only allows to use them as a playground for active matter investigation but also sheds light on how this critical class of organisms adapts to its environment. She is an experimental physicist working at the frontier of physics and biology, in collaboration with theoreticians, biologists and chemists. She completed her PhD at LPENS in Paris under the supervision of Raphaël Jeanneret and Nicolas Desprat and was trained at Ecole Centrale Paris and Institut Pierre-Gilles de Gennes.
