Since my Bachelor's degree in psychology, education and language science at the University of Neuchâtel, I have been interested in animal representations. I then completed a Master's degree in cognitive sciences at the same university where I was interested in the evolutionary and developmental origins of the understanding of death. I joined the University of Lausanne in 2021 to pursue my research on cognition related to the biological world. During my PhD, jointly supervised by Professor Christine Mohr and Professor Alexandre Roulin, I would like to understand how our beliefs about owls and bats can impact conservation projects.
