Education

Charlotte obtained both her bachelor's (2017) and master's degrees (2019) in chemistry from the University of Namur (Belgium).

.

She then continued her training with a PhD in the theoretical chemistry group of Benoit Champagne still in Namur (Belgium). In 2023, she obtained her PhD with a Thesis entitled "Multi-Scale Theoretical Investigation of the Linear and Nonlinear Optical Responses of Di-8-ANEPPS Embedded in Complex Environments: on the Way to Explore the Complexity of Cell Membranes"

.

Now at Warwick in Dr. Rebecca Notman's group, she is investigating the challenges of simulating skin lipid membranes.
