I am a researcher focusing on the impact of disturbances on ecosystems. This field is cross-disciplinary, involving studies from ecosystems functioning to species-specific ecosphysiological parameters. My research approach incorporates various tools, such as paleoecological analyses, biostatistics, bioinformatic tools, and modeling.

My work primarily centers around forest ecosystems, and I conduct both empirical studies and theoretical investigations to enhance the conservation and management of environmental resources amidst global changes. I’m passionate about contributing to the understanding of ecosystem responses to disturbances and I’m dedicated to making meaningful contributions to promote a sustainable future for our planet.

Interests

Global warming has emerged as a critical driver of significant changes in forests worldwide, resulting in unprecedented negative ecological and socioeconomic consequences. One alarming trend is the rise in tree mortality, triggered by more frequent and severe droughts, wind storms, wildfires, and insect outbreaks. My research focuses on three main axes to address these pressing issues.

Firstly, I aim to gain a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between climate, disturbances, and vegetation in the past. By examining historical data, I hope to shed light on how these interactions have evolved over time and their implications for the present scenario.

Secondly, I endeavor to assess the current consequences of climate change on these interactions. By analyzing real-time data and observing ongoing ecological shifts, I aim to identify patterns and trends that are shaping the current state of forests under the influence of global warming.

Lastly, my research aims to anticipate the future consequences of changing climate on these interactions. Through innovative modeling and scenario-building techniques, I seek to project potential outcomes, enabling us to make informed decisions about the future of our forests.

Moreover, my research findings will help prioritize conservation efforts, focusing on preserving endangered ecosystems, forests, and species that are most vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.
