After completing studies in climate model analysis and weather forecasting at the National School of Meteorology (France), I spent the past year focusing on forest‑atmosphere interactions at Helsinki University. I am now pursuing a PhD at LMU since September 2025 under the supervision of Wolfgang Obermeier and Julia Pongratz. It aims to deepen our understanding of how climate change and forest‑management practices influence the carbon cycle and forest microclimates. Another objective of my research is to quantify the feedbacks that forests exert on local atmospheric conditions. My work involves field observations combined with the development and application of Earth System Models.
