She is specialized in fluid-rock interactions, notably in the oceanic lithosphere, combining the study of natural settings during oceanographic cruises with hydrothermal experiments in the lab. She is particularly interested in the hydrothermal alteration of mantle-derived rocks, mainly serpentinization and associated reactions such as H2 generation, CO2 mineralization and reduction. Her work notably aims at characterizing their kinetics and their coupling with tectonics and fluid circulations. She held her PhD in 2003 at the University of Grenoble 1 (France) and then worked 2 years at the IPG Paris (France) and 3 years at Geosciences Montpellier (France) before being recruited in Lyon in 2008.
