Welcome to my professional website I hope that you’ll find it helpful. 
<br><br>
A few words about me:
<br><br>
I am currently a researcher at the Laboratoire d'Inventaire Forestier (IGN) in Nancy (FR).
<br><br>
Before that I worked for the Thünen Institute in Braunschweig (DE), did a PostDoc at the university of Ghent and did my PhD at the Technical University of Munich with the <a href='http://www.toek.wzw.tum.de/index.php?id=2' target='_blank'>Terrestrial ecology group</a> and working on how plant diversity affect arthropod communities and the ecosystem functions that they perform. This was done within the framework of the <a href='http://www.the-jena-experiment.de/' target='_blank'>Jena experiement</a>, you can find the results from these 4 years of work at the <a href='https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/doc/1342896/1342896.pdf' target='_blank'>mediaTUM</a> website.
