FORMATION

• Chercheuse postdoctorale. Woodwell Climate Research Center, Falmouth, Massachusetts: Recherche, formation et gestion sur Projet SERVIR de la NASA « Évaluation du carbone forestier pour la région de l’Afrique australe et orientale (2013-2017).
• Doctorat: Sciences biologiques spécialisé en Écologie Néotropicale, Université McGill et Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (Panama), 2012
• Baccalauréat: Sciences biologiques, Université du Québec à Montréal, Montréal, Canada, 2003

THÈMES DE RECHERCHE

Comprendre les effets directs et indirects des activités humaines sur les écosystèmes forestiers et agricoles, dans le but d’atténuer et de s’adapter aux changements climatiques, de conserver la biodiversité et les services écosystémiques, ainsi que d’améliorer la résilience environnementale.

Ces intérêts sont poursuivis via l’application de la télédétection, de l’intelligence artificelle (IA), à laquelle s’ajoute l’intégration de différentes méthodes de collecte de données de terrain pour développer et valider les modèles, et sont orientés à fournir des données probantes pour appuyer la prise de décisions pour le développement durable.
