Biography

My research focus on the impacts of global change on terrestrial ecosystem processes (e.g. carbon cycle, soil food webs, tree growth), their responses and their feedbacks to climate change. I work as data scientist and as a developer for the Land Surface Model ORCHIDEE, which is the terrestrial component of the Earth System Model IPSL-CM.
