Key words: meta-analysis, risk assessment, sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, time series

Main interests

My research interest concerns the development and implementation of statistical methods for improving biological, agricultural, and environmental mathematical models. I am also interested in the meta-analysis of experimental data for environmental risk analysis and food security studies. I give lectures in statistics and modelling, and I frequently serve as expert for national and international scientific agencies.
