Céline Tallet is researcher on pig welfare and human-pig relationship. She coordinates Soundwel.

Current position: Senior Scientist at UMR PEGASE from INRAE, France (since 2009).

Main field of research: Céline main research area is pig behaviour and welfare with a focus on human-pig relationship, positive emotions, painful practices and cognition. She has expertise in animal behaviour, heart rate monitoring, emotions and vocalisations assessment. Apart from SoundWel, ongoing projects focus on the impact of prenatal experience of sows on their productivity and on the cognitive and emotional development of their piglets; on welfare issues in organic and outdoor systems (linked to rearing entire males, to genetics issues); on automatic recordings of pig behaviour.

Positions after PhD: Postdoctoral positions at Institute of Animal Science of Prague (Czechia, 2007-2008).
