Director of the Natural History Museum of Geneva and its History of Science Museum
My encounter with the museum world began very early. Even though my geology studies did not necessarily predestine me for a career in this fascinating and complex world, I have worked in almost all areas in this field up to institutional management. My experience includes collection management, exhibition design and production, computer graphics, education and public outreach, media relations, website management, excavation and scientific leadership. This unusual professional background gives me today a global and ecosystemic vision of the museum world. This skill allows me to reflect on its development and the evolution of its role in our society.
Throughout my museological career I have continued to develop research in geology and palaeontology, particularly in the context of excavations in Switzerland and the United States.
I was also able to express my great interest in the transmission of knowledge and public outreach of the natural sciences through numerous conferences, publications and guided tours for the public.
