My background is in ecology and biological conservation with a particular interest for the acoustic component of the natural environment. Thanks to a CNRS INEE PhD Grant, I worked at the Museum national d’Histoire naturelle of Paris (France) on the analysis and monitoring of animal biodiversity using passive acoustics. I pursued this research in Purdue University (Indiana, USA) for three years in the Center for Global Soundscapes thanks to a NSF grant by focusing on the application of soundscape analysis for the detection of disturbances in the environment. I also participate to a large effort of collections and descriptions of ecosystems’ soundscape around the world.

Today, my goal is to be able to propose developed, tested and debated acoustic tools for natural area manager. Indeed, soundscape analysis allows measurements of animal communities that are no-invasive, multi-taxa, replicable, on large spatial scale and with a fine temporal resolution. Recent studies demonstrated that such approach can be used for biodiversity evaluation, description of its natural dynamics (diel, season, ecosystem related) and detection of changes in the animal community due to disturbances (invasive species, human activity, wildfire…)
