I have a Bachelor's degree in Life Science and Humanities (ESTBB, 2020) and a Master's degree in Animal Behavior (University Paris Sorbonne Nord, 2023). During my Master's program, I had the opportunity to work on rescue behavior in ants at the Laboratory of Experimental and Comparative Ethology (LEEC) in Paris. This experience inspired me to focus on social interactions, particularly cooperation and prosocial behaviors. In 2023, I decided to align my interests in prosocial behavior with animal welfare by investigating prosocial behavior in pigs (University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna). I am now continuing with a PhD focusing on helping behavior in pigs, with a particular interest in understanding how social relationships influence this behavior. My research combines experimental approaches with detailed behavioral analysis to examine whether and how social relationships impact helping behavior in pigs.
