Hi there, I'm Edouard!
I’m a PhD researcher working within the Evolutionary and Ecology Lab at the Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. I work within the amazing team of Denis Fournier with whom I had the chance to do various fieldwork while also acquiring extensive skills in bioinformatics.
My research interests include tropical biodiversity and ecology, global change, macroecology, biogeography, and invasive biology. I have a strong interest on insects but I love other groups as well, nature is too incredible to be narrow!
I’ve done multiple fieldworks in Europe (Finland, France and Belgium) but nothing can beat the tropics in my opinion. I’ve completely fallen in love with tropical forests through numerous fieldworks across French Guiana, Guadeloupe and Costa Rica.
