Biography

I am a medical entomologist and Assistant Professor at the University of Science and Technology of Masuku, Gabon. My research focuses on understanding vector systems (ecology, adaptation, vector invasions, vector transmission of pathogens) and how they shape epidemiological patterns of vector-borne and zoonotic diseases, particularly within anthropo-sylvan interfaces. I was particularly inspired by mentors such as Prof. Moses Bockarie, Dr. Pierre Kengne, and Dr. Christophe Paupy, who guided me along the research path and from whom I learned a lot. I have skills in insect systematics (mosquitoes, sandflies, ceratopogonides, hematophagous flies), molecular screening (PCR, Next Generation Sequencing), and basic (genomics) and advanced (biostatistics) data analysis methods. Since 2021, I have been promoted and recognized by international institutions promoting Research Excellence in Africa, including the Africa Research Excellence Fund (AREF) and the Africa Academy of Science (AAS), as an Alumnus and an Affiliate, respectively.
