Scientific Distinction
      
November '05 - "Pierre Faurre" Prize, from the French Academy of Sciences
Specialization :    Mathematical Ecology and Modelling


My background is in mathematics and more precisely in geometry. I started to apply some geometrical methods to the study of ecological models in my PhD thesis. Now, I'm working in the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography (MIO), in the team dealing with Marine Ecology and Biodiversity. My group develops and applies mathematical methods to analyse marine ecosystems. I am interested in dynamical systems theory and its applications in ecology.  I'm also tying to promote the field of Theoretical Biology, I'm a member of the French speaking Society of Theoretical Biology (SFBT), of the European Society of Mathematical and Theoretical Biology (ESMTB), of the Society of Mathematical Biology (SMB) and of the French Society of Mathematics (SMF).
