“ Rejoice evermore “ 1 Thessalonians 5 :16

The research and need to understand more about the world is the main aspect of my personality.
Indeed, after a mathematics baccalaureate, I decided to continue my studies in Humans Sciences in order to understand “Why the persons do what they do?” This choice allowed me to study literature, Languages, Sciences of Language and Communication. These domains of studies gave me many abilities to be an interdisciplinary researcher trying to add a useful contribution to Sciences and humanities.
