About

I am an environmental data scientist at the Laboratoire d’Océanographie de Villefranche ( LOV), where I work on ocean-climate and environmental data problems. My research centers on marine heatwaves, climate change, biodiversity, and the development of practical scientific software for reproducible research. I am a member of the OMTAB team, where I am currently working on the RiOMar and HYPERNETS projects.

This site primarily serves as a collection of my public-facing projects, publications, talks, and code.
