Biodiversity, Ecosystems, Socio-ecological Coherence

With a doctorate in ecology, I defended my thesis in May 2024, entitled "Identification of vegetation parameters favouring beneficial arthropods and associated ecological functions in viticulture: a correlative and experimental approach".. My research has focused on the detailed interactions between vegetation and arthropods in wine-growing agro-ecosystems, with particular emphasis on the ecological benefits provided by these arthropods, such as the natural regulation of pests.

I'm currently a postdoctoral student working on the LIFE VineAdapt project.

My scientific interest is in the relationships between arthropods and plants in socio-agrosystems. I'm looking to understand how farming practices and plot management influence these interactions, and how this knowledge can promote more resilient farming systems.

I am currently working on the LIFE VineAdapt project. This project aims to identify and promote sustainable viticultural practices by integrating biodiversity into vineyards, in particular through the use of semi-natural habitats to support populations of beneficial arthropods.
