I am interested in understanding how developmental processes evolve and generate morphological diversity in organisms. My work fits into the field of evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo), but expands more and more towards biophotonics and material engineering. Despite a few side steps, I always come back to my favorite model: the insect cuticle and its associated nano- or microstructures. Among other examples, I investigated the genetics underlying the origin of new pigmentation pattern in the wing cuticles in drosophilid flies, the emergence of ecologically-related trait as the density of leg hair bristles in water striders, and the evo-devo of wing scales's biophotonic structures in butterflies and moths.
