Dr. Sara Chebbo

I am a biogeochemist and environmental scientist with an interdisciplinary background in Earth Science, functional ecology, and Earth system modelling.

I currently hold a full-time teaching and research position at the École normale supérieure (ENS), Paris Ulm, Panthéon Campus.

My academic journey has been driven by a curiosity to understand how natural systems function, interact, and respond to environmental change.

I earned my PhD in Geosciences from Université Paris-Saclay, where I explored terrestrial ecosystem functioning and carbon dynamics, particularly in French permanent grasslands, using the ORCHIDEE land surface model and future climate scenarios.

Prior to my PhD, I completed a Master's degree in Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution (BEE), specializing in Environment and Law, at the University of Rennes. This dual-disciplinary training provided me with a broader perspective on environmental challenges, combining ecological sciences with legal approaches.

Beyond my previous research, I am interested in exploring the complex connections between ecological processes, biogeochemical cycles, global environmental change, and human well-being.

I am particularly drawn to interdisciplinary approaches that connect different scientific fields to better understand environmental challenges.
