As an expert in spatial ecology, I am interested in the response of animal populations to environmental change through individual movements such as dispersal, foraging and migration. I collect individual data from long-term monitoring (CMR) and telemetry tools (GPS, GLS), which I then analyse using complex statistical tools. I also develop new hypotheses by building theoretical models of population dynamics or individual-centred models parameterised with empirical data collected in the field. My work combines behavioural ecology, conservation biology, eco-epidemiology and statistics, and requires solid skills in R and C++ programming and GIS.
