As a forest ecologist, I am passionate about understanding the complex interplay between climate change, disturbances, and management in forest ecosystems. To tackle this challenge, I employ a unique data fusion approach that combines various types of data and methods, giving me a comprehensive view of these intricate systems. My experience as a forester has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the importance of engaging with local stakeholders and practitioners. I firmly believe that working closely with these groups not only enriches my research, but also enhances the practical applications of my findings. Moreover, I understand that communication is key in bridging the gap between scientific research and the wider public, and I am committed to translate my research outcomes into practical applications for forest management.
