I obtained a MSc in Biology and Ecology and a PhD in Ecology and population dynamics. My main research areas are focused on predator-prey dynamics, invasive species, disturbed ecosystems, biotic interactions and biological conservation.
I obtained my research accreditation (Habilitation to supervise researches) in November 2020.
I’m currently working on the impact of predators both on insular ecosystems and peri-urban areas to understand how global changes can induce disturbances in predator-prey interactions.
I have co-supervised 3 post-doc, 4 PhD students. I am responsible of 3 teaching units and currently involved in research programs regarding predator-prey regulation disruption that can lead to agricultural issues.
