Hélène Morlon, born in 1978, is a French mathematician and ecologist specializing in biodiversity computational modeling, identifying the factors that influence diversification of species and their phenotypic evolution over millions of years.
[1] In 1995, Hélène Morlon began studying mathematics and physics at the Thiers high school in Marseille.
From 2001 to 2005, she completed a thesis in ecotoxicology at Bordeaux-I University under the supervision of Alain Boudou and Jacqueline Garnier-Laplace.
In 2014, she joined the ENS Institute of Biology and obtained a consolidator grant from the European Research Council.
[1] Morlon has also been involved in the development of an online visualization tool demonstrating the tree of life called “onezoom,” which is an interactive map showing evolutionary links among numerous living things.
