My research project aims to study the contamination of rare earth elements (REE), uranium (U), and thorium (Th) in aquatic ecosystems by Canada’s first active mine in the Northwest Territories and the Strange Lake exploration project in Nunavik. More specifically, I am seeking to assess the potential of zooplankton species and an amphipod species to […]

My interest in ecotoxicology and aquatic biology during my bachelor’s degree pushed me to pursue a master’s project. My research focuses on bioaccessibility of contaminants and nutrients in freshwater organisms that are traditionally an important food income for many indigenous communities in northern Canada. In order to evaluate if potential harmful chemicals found in these […]

My thesis is entitled “Effects of climate change on northern greening, permafrost degradation, water level decline and contaminant release in the Kangiqsualujjuaq region, Nunavik.” In this work, I collaborate with the Inuit community of Kangiqsualujjuaq to study how climate change is affecting the northern territory. I focus on key processes such as northern greening, permafrost […]

For my research project, I am studying the biogeochemical cycles of mercury (Hg) and carbon (C) throughout the seasons in the forested watershed of Lac Croche at the Station de Biologie des Laurentides. More specifically, I am interested in the temporal transport and transformation of Hg in the environment at the interface of terrestrial and […]

After completing an undergraduate degree in cinema studies from UdeM (2007), I did work in cinema industry for more than a decade before going back to school to obtain a bachelor’s degree in biology from UdeM (2022). My interests are basically about aquatic science, ecology and conservation biology. I’m looking forward to work on projects […]
