Postdoctoral Researcher
My research interests lie at the interface between population dynamics, quantitative ecology, conservation and life history evolution. I mostly focus on empirical work, on wild animal populations, but I also do some methodological development and a bit of theoretical work.

Research
My research interests lie at the interface between population dynamics, quantitative ecology, conservation and life history evolution.
I mostly focus on empirical work, on wild animal populations, but I also do some methodological developments and a bit of theoretical work.
For my current postdoc (with Aurélien Besnard), I work on the population dynamics of Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) and we are developing an adaptive monitoring program for this species, in collaboration with French National Parks.
I have worked on several vertebrate taxa: birds, marine mammals and amphibians.
