Biography

I'm a researcher in geography, social and environmental sciences at the University of Glasgow’s School of Social & Environmental Sustainability and a member of the UKRI GCRF Living Deltas Research Hub (2020-2024). I'm also contributing to the OPERANDUM https://www.operandum-project.eu/ aiming at developing Nature-based solutions to restore riverine and coastal landscapes (- 2022). 

In the field of development geography, my research project questions the impacts of human activities on river socio-ecological systems, from a North-South perspective. Finding the balance between ecological, social and economical processes and demand is the main challenge that drives my research. In river areas, from the scale of the catchment area to that of the ecosystem, I study from field surveys, quantitative data and analysis of satellite images, how the processes of territorial development transform socio-ecological systems.

My role in the UKRI GCRF Living Delta Research Hub is to develop a risk assessment and the Global Delta Risk Index that characterize coastal social-ecological tipping points, especially in Mangrove related social-ecological systems. The impact of this research is to provide tools to policymakers to identify the places the most exposed to risk and to support the decisions to take actions to build more resilient communities and sustainable development. 

I have completed a PhD in Geography on the socio-ecological systems in the Brahmaputra floodplain (Assam, North-east India) from Paris 8 university, in France in 2014. Also, I hold an MSc in Environmental Science (specialization: environmental planning and management) (2007) degree from MNHN-Paris, an MSc in Local Development (2006) degree from Institute for Social and Economical Development - IEDES- Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, and a Ba in geography (2003) degree from Sorbonne, Paris, France. Before joining the University of Glasgow, I was engaged as a PDRA at the University of Limoges to work on River Governance – citizen participation in river management in the Dordogne river basin, France - 2016. I was also engaged as a Post-doc on Public Participation in Water resources management in the Dong Nai- Saigon river basin, Vietnam - 2017.

Apart from research experience, I worked as a teaching assistant at the University of Paris 8 (2008-2011 and 2016-2017) Saint-Denis and at the University of Strasbourg (2013-2014) where I taught Geography.
