Mission
I specialized in the contribution of Geographic Information Science approaches for the analysis and for the management of genetic and health data. Within a small landscape genetics research group at the Laboratory of Geographic Information Systems (LASIG), I apply spatial analysis, spatial statistics, spatial modelling, and geocomputational methods to evolutionary biology and health data. I also make use of environmental engineering monitoring tools (e.g. meteorological stations, airborne sensors) to enhance the quality and the spatial resolution of geo-environmental data used in landscape genomics models.
GIScience : Spatial analysis, Spatial statistics, Geocomputation, Exploratory spatial data analysis
Spatial analysis of genetic (Landscape Genetics, Landscape Genomics, Conservation genetics) and health data (see GIRAPH group)
I currently serve on the editorial boards of BMC Genetics (associate editor), Frontiers in Genetics (associate editor), Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution (review editor), Frontiers in Environmental Informatics (review editor) and of the International Journal of Geomatics and Spatial Analysis (Revue Internationale de Géomatique). I also serve on the standing committee of the Association of American Geographers (AAG) for the attribution of the William L. Garrison award for best dissertation in computational geography.
