Curriculum vitae

Current

2024 - 2027
PhD in climate sciences

PhD in climate sciences, supervised by Hervé Douville at the CNRM (National Center for Meteorological research, Toulouse, France) and Pascal Terray at the IPSL/LOCEAN (Laboratory of Oceanography and Climatology, Paris, France). The goal of the PhD is to improve regional climate projections using observational constraints on atmospheric circulation.

Previous research experiences

2024 April - November
Research assistant in epidemiology

Research assistant in epidemiology working with Marie-Cécile Dupas and Marius Gilbert at the SpELL (Spatial Epidemiology Lab, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Bruxelles, Belgium) on the development of the Early Warning Decision Support Tool for Avian Influenza. This work was an academic collaboration with the United Nations (UN) Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

The overall objective of this Agreement was to identify, collect, and prepare data on the seasonal distribution and movement of wild bird species in relation to the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks at regional level for the development of a dynamic prediction model for the risk of HPAI introduction in Asia and other regions of interest. This model will contribute to the development of the Early Warning Decision Support Tool for Avian Influenza.

2021 - 2023
Graduate studies at Yamazaki lab

Research based graduate studies supervised by Yamazaki Yoshihiro at Yamazaki Lab (Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan). Multiple fields of research were explored during the graduate program, namely climate science literature, graph theory, socio-physics and machine learning. The graduate thesis was a study and statistical data analysis of global energy consumption from 1965 to 2021 under climate change circumstances.

2021 April - June
M1 research internship

1st year master’s internship on robustness analysis of the global cereals trade network supervised by Marie-Cécile Dupas at the LIED (Paris Interdisciplinary Energy Research Institute, Université de Paris, Paris, France).
