🏆 Third edition of the Trophées de la Valorisation de la Recherche (Toulouse Tech Transfer)
I am an Associate Professor (HDR) in Geo-Information Sciences at INP-AgroToulouse (Engineering Faculty of Life Sciences) and I joined the DYNAFOR Lab. (UMR INRAE & Toulouse INP) in 2006. Previously I completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the CNRS/University of Strasbourg (UMR ICube & LIVE) after a Ph.D. thesis on spatial database integration at the French national mapping agency (IGN-LaSTIG) / University of Paris 6 (LIP6). I had graduated in 1999 from the University of Liège (ULiège, Belgium) with a Bachelor’s degree in Geomatics and Land Surveying. I also worked for one year as a research assistant at the Geomatics Unit, ULiège.
My current research topics include remote sensing for biodiversity monitoring, image analysis for mapping forest ecosystems and agro-ecological infrastructures, and the integration of multi-source spatial data. I am interested in classifying tree species using earth observation imagery, modelling species-habitat relationships with remote sensing data and specifically question how the spatial representation of habitats (classified vs unclassified data) influences the models’ performance. I also conduct some works on modelling and simulating landscape dynamics. I am motivated by interdisciplinary and the complex system theory to address questions related to socio-ecological systems.
