I am a broad-spectrum ecologist working on integrative approaches to investigate and monitor biodiversity patterns and spatiotemporal dynamics across multiple levels, scales and facets (composition, structure and function).

To accomplish this, I am looking for innovative ways to combine satellite remotely sensed Earth Observations, models and in situ data (among other sources). I am applying this combo to analyze ecosystem functions and linkages to ecological processes, species distributions and diversity, functional connectivity, wildfire disturbances and post-fire recovery, and systems resilience.

Ultimately, I hope to contribute to 'next-generation' biodiversity monitoring systems for a better and safer Earth!
