Was employee in BC3 from 0000-00-00 to 2024-05-10
Short CV
While pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Fundamental Physics, my interests shifted from the inert matter to the living world, which led me to pursue a Master's in Biological Physics. Concerns about sustainability and human societies' role in the current environmental crisis motivated me to engage in a PhD. on the study of the dynamics of coupled human-nature systems. My approach was a modelling one, and I developed and explored spatially explicit models of land-use change in agricultural landscapes coupled to human population dynamics and resource consumption. I am currently a Postdoctoral researcher working on the ARIES project. My strengths are the conception, computational implementation and analysis of human-nature models.
