Description

I am a PhD-level aquatic ecologist with strong expertise in aquatic entomology, floodplain ecosystem dynamics, biodiversity prediction, and contaminant transfer.

I combine ecological knowledge with advanced analytical skills, including mixed-effects modelling, machine learning approaches, and predictive modelling in R.

I have worked with various organizations dedicated to the protection of aquatic ecosystems, and I regularly support research teams, environmental consultancies, and public agencies in the interpretation of biological data (fish and aquatic invertebrates)

I provide rigorous scientific writing, review, and methodological support for research projects, environmental reports, grant proposals and deliverables.

Services Offered:

1️⃣ Scientific Writing & Editing (EN/FR)

- Proofreading and editing of reports, articles, and EU deliverables

- Improving structure, clarity, and style

- Ensuring scientific accuracy and methodological consistency

2️⃣ Ecological Data Analysis (R)

- Mixed-effects models (GLMM, GAMM)

- Predictive modelling and machine learning

- Multivariate analyses, bioassessment, ecological indices

- Data visualization

3️⃣ Aquatic Ecology Expertise

- Interpretation of macroinvertebrate data

- Ecological status assessment

- Fish recruitment analyses

- Contaminant transfer assessment

4️⃣ Taxonomic Identification

- Species-level identification of caddisflies and chironomids

- Taxonomic validation for monitoring and restoration studies

5️⃣ Scientific & Technical Writing

- Technical notes and reports

- Literature reviews

- Methods and results sections of articles

6️⃣ Training & Support

- Introduction to R for entomologist

- Multivariate analysis

- Bioassessment and interpretation of aquatic invertebrate data

- Aquatic entomology (caddisflies and chironomids)
