I am a conservation biologist interested in ecology, complexity, and in biodiversity. I am currently a Marie Curie Fellow working with Antoine Guisan (UNIL) and David Roy (UKCEH). My work is interdisciplinary; I combine field experiments, landscape ecology, biogeography, ecological modeling, and complexity science to inform biodiversity conservation.
