Researcher in theoretical and applied contemporary population genetics. [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.fr/citations?user=9_ngu_IAAAAJ) [Orcid](https://orcid.org/my-orcid?orcid=0000-0001-6064-5941) [Gitlab](https://forgemia.inra.fr/users/solenn.stoeckel/projects) [Software webpage](https://eng-igepp.rennes.hub.inrae.fr/productions/software) **Research Interests** I'm interested in theoretical and applied population genetics, and population ecology in general. I mostly worked on partially clonal and allogamous species. I try to understand and characterize the dynamics of genetic diversity over time and explicit space for monitored contemporary species that matters for ecosystems and human activities. I mostly use forward exact and approximated formalisms of population genetics and probabilities of identity to decipher relashionship between individuals over couples to hundreds of generations. At these limited scales, backward highly-approximated population genetic formalisms, like using branching processes, are not enough accurate to track population trajectories of genetic diversity and to infer biological and ecological parameters constraining the evolution of populations. I use and teach probability, stochastic processes, high-troughput computation, algorithm, Bayesian and frequentist statistics, supervised machine learning, mating system and reproductive modes in Eucaryots. I'm finally interested and teach epistemology, history of sciences and science policies. **Education** 1997: Baccalaureate in Sciences, Lycée Descartes, Tours.

Maria E. Orive, KU (Mar. 2017, August 2019). Dr Stacy Krueger-Hadfield, UAB & VIMS (Sept. 2023). Dr Ekaterina Bocharova, RAS & VNIRO Moscow (June 2018, Nov.-Dec. 2019, Metchnikov grant). ----- **Early profesionnal experiences** I worked out of research to fund my studies before engaging into a PhD. In my experience, this is an important step to open mind on the society, to understand why engaging in long studies as student, and to gain perspective on the research governance and profession. I list these small jobs as an example of this practice for my student. - Fire- and rescue-man at SDIS 37 with a corpus of related diplomas and formations. I managed a small environment and animal intervention team (7 years, since I was 17, week-ends, evenings & hollidays). - Child, teenager and disable educator with a corpus of related diplomas (BAFA, lifeguard, horse instructor, nature specialisation; around 8 months in total). - Agricultural worker in berries, cereals, goat and cow farms (~6 months in total). - Worker in a book factory (varnishing and lamination line; 2 weeks). - Book seller ( 2 weeks). - Bartender in London (2 weeks). Nice experience for improving english language ;)
