Biosketch
I have
been working for several years as a statistician on ecological issues. I studied
first at Université Lyon I, then I worked for some labs in Lyons (Ecologie
Grands Fleuves and then, Cemagref), Marseilles (IMEP) and in some UK places
like Newcastle-upon-Tyne (Department of Geography), Coventry (University of
Warwick, Dept of Statistics) and Kent (Horticulture Research International).
I am now lecturer at Université Paul Cézanne d’Aix-Marseille 3 (UPCAM).
My research institute is IMEP-CNRS 6116. Keywords for my research activity
are:
|
Ecological and Palaeo-ecological Data Modelling
|
|
Markov Chain
Monte-Carlo methods (MCMC)
|
|
Multivariate Data Analysis
|
|
Multivariate
Statistical Calibration
|
|
Process-based, Compartmental or Dynamic Modelling
|
|
Statistical
Analysis of Computer Code Outputs
|
|
Statistical Analysis of Heterogeneous Datasets, Meta-Analysis
|
My
publications are in Ecological modelling, Climate Dynamics , Ecoscience and Forest Ecology and Management, Trees -
Structure and Function, Annals of Forest Sciences
and Journal of Biogeography (for full refs, see below).
