I have a background in agronomy, with a focus on natural resource and environmental management, from the Faculty of Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine at the State University of Haiti. I also hold a master’s degree from AgroParisTech, Montpellier campus (France), in Environmental Management of Tropical Ecosystems and Forests (GEEFT), as well as another from the University of Salamanca (Spain) in Sustainable Environmental Management. Currently, under the supervision of Oliver Sonnentag and Kenel Délusca, my research focuses on applying predictive species distribution models to account for climate change in the selection of forest species for reforestation on the tropical Caribbean island of Hispaniola. It primarily aims to propose a proactive and alternative approach to species selection methods based on historical data, whose relevance diminishes as the climate changes.
