Thématique de recherche

Je suis un océanographe dont les recherches portent sur l’écophysiologie du phytoplancton, ainsi que sur l’optique et la télédétection des océans. Elles ont comme objectif principal de comprendre l’interaction entre le phytoplancton et son milieu. Je travaille donc en mer et en laboratoire, à l’aide de modèles numériques. Finalement, en plus de ces passions, je m’intéresse de plus en plus à la limnologie.
