I have a Bachelor's degree in Life Science and Humanities (ESTBB, 2020) and a Master's degree in Animal Behaviour (University Paris Sorbonne Nord, 2023). During my Master's program, I had the opportunity to work on rescue behaviour 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 behaviours. In 2023, I decided to align my interests in prosocial behaviour with animal welfare by investigating prosocial behaviour in pigs (University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna). I am now continuing with a PhD focusing on helping behaviour in pigs, with a particular interest in understanding how social relationships influence this behaviour. My research combines experimental approaches with detailed behavioural analysis to examine whether and how social relationships impact helping behaviour in pigs.
