I’m a PhD candidate in Natural Product Biochemistry at the Laboratoire de Biochimie et Chimie Appliquées (LABIOCA), Université Joseph Ki-Zerbo, in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). My work sits at the intersection of phytochemistry, bioactivity testing, and the small software tools I build along the way to make research a bit smoother.

This site is my portfolio — a place to share what I’m working on and to keep a record of it.

What I work on

My doctoral research focuses on the phytochemistry and antiquorum sensing activity of some medicinal plant used in West African traditional medicine. The goal is to isolate, characterize, and evaluate the bioactive compounds it contains — and to better understand why traditional uses work.

Around that, I build small applications to organize my research data and check the reliability of the scientific sources I rely on.

What you’ll find here

• Projects — research tools and side projects I’ve built, with code and short write-ups
• Publications — peer-reviewed articles and preprints
• Teaching — courses and lab sessions I contribute to

Areas of Interest

My work converges around one central question: how can we make scientific knowledge more visible, structured, and useful?

• Natural Products Chemistry and Phytochemistry — the study, production, and valorization of bioactive molecules from medicinal plants.
• Computational Phytochemistry — application of computational tools (molecular docking, ADMET prediction, molecular dynamics simulations) to study and prioritize plant-derived molecules for drug discovery.
• Knowledge Management, Ontology, and Scientific Data — structuring scientific knowledge through ontologies, knowledge graphs, and database design to better organize and connect natural products research.
• Scientific Communication and Visual Design — using graphic design, scientific illustration, and digital platforms to make research outputs accessible to scientific, industrial, and public audiences.
• Scientific Innovation and Promotion — exploring how innovation from science and technology can foster development and strengthen its societal impact.
• Digital and Industrial Technologies for Plant Production and Transformation — investigating how digital technologies, machinery, automation, and robotics can support plant cultivation, extraction processes, and the industrial transformation of bioactive molecules.
