Professional

During my PhD, my main advisor and co-director was Sylvie Gourlet-Fleury, head of the team Dynamics of natural forests, a research unit of the CIRAD (Centre for International Research in Agronomy and Development) in Montpellier. My PhD director was Sandra Lavorel, chief of the team Functional traits and dynamics of alpine ecosystems, a research unit of the LECA (Laboratoire d'ÉCologie Alpine) in Grenoble. I mainly worked in Paracou, an experimental set up dedicated to the study of the ecosystems of French Guiana. I also conducted teaching, practical courses and field trips at Montpellier II University.
