My activity

I am an ecologist interested in ecosystem complexity and how the architecture of ecological systems drives emergent properties such as stability and resilience. I combine theoretical models and data analysis from various ecosystems to address these questions. My research aims at contributing to the fundamental understanding of stability and resilience of natural systems, but also has goals in application, and in particular, in the development of practical tools to better anticipate ecosystem responses to future environmental change.
