Teaching
I am a lecturer at the University of Montpellier, Faculty of Sciences, Department of Biology & Ecology.
I teach ecology, botany, and data analysis, from undergraduate to graduate levels, with a strong emphasis on fieldwork and quantitative skills.
My teaching combines lectures, practicals, and project-based learning, with a strong focus on linking ecological theory to conservation practice. As a botanist, I regularly lead field courses in Mediterranean, temperate and alpine ecosystems, helping students develop naturalist skills and field-based ecological reasoning.
I am currently responsible for several courses in the Bachelor’s and Master’s curriculum, including two core modules in ecology.
Master program
Together with Anne Charpentier, I co-coordinate the RAINET track within the Master program “Biodiversity and Environmental Management”.
The RAINET track is a Master’s program in conservation ecology, bridging academia and conservation organizations. It prepares students for PhD research and careers as conservation scientists or scientific project managers.
Students receive a multidisciplinary training in conservation biology and gain hands-on experience working with professionals in biodiversity conservation. The program trains ecologists to understand complex conservation challenges and develop innovative solutions.
Key skills include:
Mastering concepts and methods in ecology, biogeography, evolutionary biology, and socio-economic aspects of conservation.
Collaborating effectively with conservation actors and understanding the tools and policies guiding biodiversity management.
Identifying ecological and social factors that influence the success of conservation programs and prioritizing species and ecosystems.
Designing and conducting research projects, from defining questions to analyzing results.
Communicating scientific findings clearly, in both French and English.
