My research is focused on the use of geospatial tools such as remote sensing, species distribution modelling, and geographic information systems to understand patterns of landscape change and evolutionary processes.

During my PhD I studied the ecoevolutionary drivers of amphibian adaptation to dry environments using a combination of molecular and spatial methods, while simultaneously characterizing patterns of habitat loss and degradation in Morocco using remote sensing tools.

In my postdoctoral research prior to joining BIODESERTS, I was primarily focused on the use of remote sensing for monitoring and managing invasive plant species (Acacia spp. and Eucalyptus spp.), as well as identifying priority areas for ecological restoration. My current research interests are centered on the application of geospatial approaches to landscape characterizations and development of solutions for biodiversity conservation and management in arid regions.
