Biography

My research interests encompass marine wildlife toxicology and the use of marine predators as sentinel species of their environment. My research focuses on the evaluation of biochemical and physiological responses of marine vertebrates exposed to organic and inorganic pollutants as well as the analysis of the effect of species ecology and global change on animal health.

Since 2016 I have been working on the Arctic ecosystems ¿ mostly European Arctic waters ¿ and has been involved in international monitoring programs like the Arctic Monitoring Assessment program of the Arctic Council (i.e. "Mercury in the Arctic" report). ¿From next year I'll start a Marie Curie fellowship with the aim of developing a modelling tool for the forecast of future climate-driven changes in Arctic marine pollution.

In the future, I am interested in developing my career towards the assessment of marine pollution-related environmental risks at the ecosystem scale, including socio-economical aspects (e.g. food safety and OneHealth approach).

Im am also very involved in science communication and education through my participation as a board member in the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) and publication of several papers in Canadian-based divulgation site ¿whalescientists.com¿. I also participate to the science/policy interface through my participation as Belgian expert in the ¿marine mammals¿ group¿ of the OSPAR Biodiversity committee and the ¿pollution experts¿ group¿ of the International Whaling Commission.
