I'm a tropical botanist and ethnobotanist working in Madagascar and Amazon forest.

Currently working on a taxonomic revision of Utricularia in Madagascar.

My work aims to explore biocultural interactions and cultural dynamics in tropical ecosystems while bridging gaps between local and academic knowledge systems. My research addresses the biocultural dynamics in small-scale societies' food systems articulated around three main themes: (1) The perception of climate change and the agrobiodiversity adaptation, (2) the ethnobotanical knowledge of wild food within Austronesian cultures and (3) the local ecological knowledge transfer process and biocultural heritage.
