Research
My main interests are in statistical/machine learning modelling applied to environmental risk assessment, agriculture, and food safety. I manage scientific projects and support research groups in analyzing complex datasets using statistical and machine learning methods.
Methods
- Meta-analysis
- Mixed-models
- Machine learning
- Causal analysis
- Forecasting methods
- Dynamic models
- Bayesian statistics
Fields of application
- Food security and food safety
- Climate change impact and adaptation
- Greenhouse gas and pollutants
- Agroecology
- Environmental risk assessment
- Decision support

Awarded Highly Cited Researcher
Consultancy
I support research groups and public organisations in analyzing their datasets:
- Risk analysis (environmental risk, food safety),
- Climate change,
- Development of modelling, classification and forecasting tools,
- Support in conducting meta-analysis.
Teaching in graduate schools
- Generalized linear models and Mixed-models
- Meta-analysis and analysis of networks of experiments
- Uncertainty and Sensitivity analysis with complex crop and environmental models
- Time series and Machine learning
