Profile

I am an agricultural scientist and entomologist. I graduated from Gembloux Agro-Bio-Tech and then pursued a Master in Environmental Science and Management at the ULB. Since 2003 I have worked on beneficial arthropods bees and the side effects of pesticides on these species at CRA-W's Plant Protection and Ecotoxicology Unit. In parallel for 2007-2012 I did a PhD on intraguild predation between the multicolored Asian ladybeetle Harmonia axyridis and native coccinellids at ULB's Biological Control and Spatial Ecology Unit. Since 2011 I'm working on honey bee decline with the help of observational and experimental approach. From 2018 I coordinate the PolBEES project about stressors from pollen : pesticides and resource quality.
