I am an MSCA postdoctoral researcher (Univ. of Bordeaux, Institute of Mathematics - IMB) with interests in population dynamics, quantitative ecology, evolutionary demography, and global change biology.

My MSCA research project, DROVE, aims to develop a statistical and theoretical framework to study the demographic and adaptive responses of wild populations to temporal environmental variability under climate change, and to characterize the demographic mechanisms that enable their persistence. I will apply population models to long-term, individual-based data from great tit (Parus major) populations. This project is in collaboration with Dr F. Barraquand (IMB, France) and Prof. M. Visser (NIOO-KNAW, Netherlands).
