​

I hold an agronomic engineering degree (2018) and an M.Sc. in Biodiversity Conservation (2020). Both of my master’s theses were completed in collaboration with international NGOs, focusing on mammal studies through camera traps—one in Cambodia and the other in Mongolia. Following my graduation, I worked as an ecological consultant in France, where I specialized in bat surveys and mitigation strategies. My active involvement in local bat conservation associations further fuelled my interest in this unique group of mammals.

My field experiences have strengthened my commitment to biodiversity conservation and shaped my ambition to contribute research that promotes long-term ecological resilience. Currently based in Cambodia, I am conducting my PhD research at the Bat Conservation Research Lab from September 2024, working toward the conservation of Cambodian bat species, particularly in their fragile ecosystems under threat from climate change and anthropogenic pressures.

My research, supervised by Dr Emma Stone and Dr Neil Furey, will focus on studying the impact of water availability variations on echolocating bat assemblages in the northern plains of Cambodia. Through this work, I aim to better understand the critical role of water in sustaining bat populations and to contribute to broader conservation efforts in tropical ecosystems."
