Hi there 👋

  • 🔭 I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zürich. I am a macroecologist specialized in marine plankton.
  • 🔭 I’m currently working on modelling the patterns and drivers of global marine plankton diversity and composition and investigating how the latter relate to ecosystem functioning.
  • 🌱 I’m currently learning German. It's not easy.
  • 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on projects promoting/achieving biodiversity conservation, on land or in the oceans.
  • 💬 Ask me about copepods. Trust me they are amazing. You could also ask me about: species distribution modelling (SDM), multivariate data analysis (PCA, MCA, CA, clustering, etc.), data/time series analysis, functional diversity indices, zooplankton imaging data, mapping, data vizualisation with the ggplot2 R package.
