Since March 2013, I am a research associate in INRAE (Institut national de recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement) in Bordeaux (ISPA, Interactions Soil-Pant-Atmosphere). In my previous positions, I worked in the Institute for Marine and Atmospheric research (IMAU, Utrecht, The Netherlands) and at the University of Bristol (Bristol, UK). I did my Ph.D. in the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement (LSCE, Gif-Sur-Yvette, France) graduating in 2011.

 

In my current position, I focus on how phosphorus can limit the crop production at the global scale. To do so, I develop and combine simple mechanistic models : i) a soil P dynamic model, ii) a potential (i.e. without any limitation) crop growth model and iii) a carbon and phosphorus plant allocation model to represent plant adjustments to phosphorus limitation.

 

My past research focused on the interaction between the wetland methane emissions and the climate. I worked to better understand the underlying processes that drive the global wetland methane emissions sensitivity to climate at different time-scales (current year-to-year variability, future and paleo climate changes). I studied the effect of the variations of these emissions on both the atmospheric concentration variability and on the climate through a potential feedback loop.
