About

Biography

I studied Mathematics at the University of Antananarivo, Madagascar. In 2010, I was selected to pursue study at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), the first and largest network of centres of excellence for innovative post-graduate training in mathematical sciences in Africa. After AIMS, I continued my academic career to study ocean and climate dynamics at the University of Cape Town. In 2016, I was a fellow of the International Climate Protection Fellowship programme of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany. I conducted a research project on climate modelling at the University of Bonn. Since then, my work and interest span around climate research, environmental protection, sustainability, renewable energy and biodiversity conservation..
