Environmental microbiology (Ecological impacts of climate change and ecological adaptation)

Bordeaux, France

For the last 20 years, my aim has been to do research with direct incidence on the community. Following a BSc degree in medical laboratory analysis and a MSc in analytical techniques of the forensic sciences (Robert Gordon University, Scotland), I entered a PhD program from the University of Warwick (England) in collaboration with the James Hutton Institute (Aberdeen) and the University of Aberdeen. The topic was to understand the effects of land-use change on atmospheric methane concentrations. My years as a post-doctoral research fellow were at the Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment (Western Sydney University, Australia) and focused on the topic of climate change and agricultural practices and their effects on trace greenhouse gas emissions and soil nutrient cycling. I had the chance to collaborate with renowned international researchers from the United Kingdom, United States of America, Australia and New Zealand. I have a keen interest for bio-statistics and their application.
