Credentials:
Ph.D. Environmental sciences – Marine ecology, Sorbonne Université, Paris, France, 2018

Research/Career Interests:
I study the distribution, habitats and movements of marine mammals (whales, dolphins, dugongs...) in the Pacific in order to facilitate their conservation in both coastal and pelagic environments. In general, I am interested in innovative and multidisciplinary methods to study the multi-scale space use patterns of marine megafauna species.
As a postdoc in the Geospatial Ecology of Marine Megafauna Laboratory, I work on statistical models aimed at predicting the habitat use and distribution patterns of rorqual whales (humpback, blue, and fin whales) off the Oregon coast as part of the OPAL project. The aim of this project is to better understand the distribution of whales in Oregon waters to assess their co-occurrence with Dungeness crab fishing effort and help reduce whale entanglements.
Responsibilities:
I am a postdoc in the GEMM Lab, working on the OPAL project.
