Her thesis deals with the physiological effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation induced blood flow and implications on performance recovery in high performance athletes. She conducts applied research to evaluate techniques to reduce fatigue and enhance recovery in high performance athletes. She is particularly interested how improved knowledge about blood flow and performance recovery relationship.

As a sports recovery PhD student, her role is to develop and apply sports recovery strategies to elite athletes and teams at INSEP. A large part of her time is devoted to providing a scientific support to athletes and coaches in their preparation to competitions.
