About

Current activities

My research interests include species distribution modelling, community ecology, macroecology and the effects of natural and anthropogenic disturbance on biological communities, with a particular emphasis on coral reef fish communities. Using quantitative tools and statistical modelling, I explore the determism of species occurrence and abundance patterns at a global scale, the role of climate change and natural disturbance events and the influence of different management scenarios.

Background

  • Postdoctoral fellowship (Ecological Modelling), Australian Institute of Marine Science, supervised by J. Caley (AIMS), M. Meekan (AIMS) & C. Bradshaw (University of Adelaide), ongoing.
  • Postdoctoral fellowship (Ecological Modelling), Institut de Recherche pour le Développement of Nouméa, New Caledonia supervised by S. Andréfouët, two months.

Education

  • PhD Thesis, University Pierre & Marie Curie (UPMC, Paris VI, France) and Ecole Pratique des hautes Etudes (EPHE), performed at Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) of Nouméa, New Caledonia, supervised by D. Ponton & R. Galzin. Obtained on 2007, Dec 11th with the Highest Grade.
  • Master’s Thesis in Oceanology and Marine Environment, UPMC Paris VI. 2004.
  • Engineering diploma in Food and Life Sciences, AgroParisTech, previously Institut National Agronomique de Paris-Grignon (INA P-G). 2004.
