I work as an INRAE postdoctoral researcher in DECOD lab at Rennes in France.
Species do not live in isolation: they eat, compete, and help one another within complex webs of interactions. These interactions play a key role in shaping how species respond to disturbances. However, interaction webs are very complex, which makes it difficult to understand how interactions translate into species responses. Because of this, we still lack a clear picture of how interspecific interactions affect the stability of species within their communities. My research aims to better understand this link.
I combine data analysis and theoretical modelling in my work. My goal is to develop the skills to work across the whole pipeline, from data to theory, in the hope to provide clear and coherent answers to complex ecological problems.
