Emilie is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto Mississauga. She now joins  Ensminger’s lab and is a member of the FastPheno project which try to combine the next generation of high-throughput drone-based phenotyping platforms, and plant ecophysiological and genomics approaches to understand forest dynamics and tree resilience to climate change impacts.

Emilie completed her doctorate in Plant Ecophysiology at the Julius-von-Sachs-Institute for Biosciences at Würzburg University in Germany. Her doctoral research focused on investigating the relationship between wood properties, drought-induced embolism, and environmental preferences in a wide range of temperate diffuse-porous broadleaved trees. She obtained her Master’s degree in Tropical Forest Ecology from the EcoFoG group at the Université des Antilles et de la Guyane in French Guiana. Her Master’s thesis explored the effects of rainfall and drought on plant hydraulic plasticity, in collaboration with the California State University in Los Angeles, USA.

Outside of her research, Emilie is a passionate traveller who seeks out new adventures and cultural experiences. She also finds inspiration through her passion for photography.
