Claire Guérin
Who I am
I am a talented and dedicated researcher who uses creative approaches to solve problems. My Bachelor's studies in biology and mathematics have given me an early start and deep understanding of the conceptual and programmatic challenges met by biologists. During my Master's and PhD studies, I have been continually developing computing tools to override some of these challenges, in particular models to understand both proximal and ultimate causes for life on Earth. Eager to learn new approaches and committed to self-development, I keep furthering my experience in programming to achieve better results.
Standing on the shoulders of giants
I hope to contribute to the astonishing advances in this enormous endeavour that is the unravelling of nature's secrets. From the mysteries of the ocean, to the mathematics governing biology, to the intricacy of insect eusociality, I have flirted with various aspects of the understanding of biological diversity and its evolution.
Alongside my research, I am a fervent advocate of education, outreach and open-science as means of promoting scientific progress.
