ABOUT ME

I am an Associate Professor in the Ecology and Dynamic of Anthropogenic Systems research team (UMR 7058 EDYSAN) of the Université de Picardie Jules Verne (Amiens, France) and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS).

As a landscape ecologist, I am interested in evaluating the role of the spatial structure and temporal dynamics of landscapes and human activities on biodiversity and ecosystem services. I am tackling my questions by using a blend of field studies, taking place in different human-modified landscape contexts, from local to regional and national scales, and considering various taxonomic groups, from population to metacommunity levels. I develop an increasing interest in using remote sensing data to inform landscape heterogeneity and understand macroecological patterns and processes.
