About Me

Profile. Climate–health researcher and lecturer specializing in climate variability, vector-borne disease modelling, and health-system resilience. Lead Author for the IPCC AR7 (Africa Chapter), Co-Chair of the Applied Malaria Modeling Network (AMMnet, Senegal), and Team Lead (Francophone countries) within the HMST–Global Fund programme. Dual affiliation with Cheikh Anta Diop University (Senegal) and the University of Labé (Guinea); currently based in the United States.

Collaboration & service. Experience across projects funded by the EU (FP7), USAID, WHO, UNICEF, IIED and NOAA. Principal Consultant to the Senegal PNA/FVC initiative aligning national and sub-national adaptation planning. Frequent presenter at AMS, AGU, UNFCCC (SB62) and the World One Health Congress.

PhD — Thesis Summary

Title: Climate–health: observation and modelling of the seasonal incidence of malaria for forecasting in Senegal and the Sahel.

Identifies climatic drivers (rainfall, humidity, temperature), documents strong May–October seasonality, and evidences an El Niño → reduced mosquito abundance & malaria incidence link using the LMM and S4CAST models (six-month lead). Projections with IPSL, HadGEM, GFDL, MIROC indicate widespread warming and mixed rainfall signals; malaria models LMM_R0, MARA, MIASMA suggest more favourable transmission conditions with inter-annual variability increasingly temperature-sensitive.
