Background

I received my PhD from Nice - Sophia Antipolis University in 1997, with a thesis on Control models in fisheries (in French) prepared at Inria Sophia Antipolis, France. It was followed by post-doctoral positions in the fisheries field at: IFREMER Nantes, France (1997); Helsinki University of Technology, Finland (1997); Institut de Ciències del Mar, CSIC Barcelona, Spain (1998-1999, Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant).
In January 2000, I obtained a research position at INRA in the Applied Mathematics and Informatics research unit in Jouy-en-Josas, France. I started working on mathematical epidemiology applied to livestock. In 2000, I spent 7 months as visiting researcher in the Veterinary Epidemiology Group at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. I later directed my research towards crop protection.
In November 2012, I joined the M2P2 team at Institut Sophia Agrobiotech and the MACBES (formerly BIOCORE) team at Inria, in Sophia Antipolis, France. I am part of the MathNum division at INRAE.

Research

Research interests

  • Development and analysis of mathematical models in population dynamics
    • mathematical analysis: model reduction, stability, control
    • numerical exploration: parameter identification, sensitivity analysis, simulation
  •  Main applications in crop protection: plant pest and disease epidemiology; management of crop resistance; design, assessment and optimisation of sustainable control strategies
  • Past applications in farm animal epidemiology and immunology, and in fishery management
