Laureate of the “Prize for Tropical Geography Yola Verhasselt 2017” awarded by the Royal Academy for Overseas Sciences of Belgium for the project: “Characterizing the spatio-temporal dynamics of landslides in urban sprawling contexts: Focus on Bukavu (DR Congo)”

Master Thesis: Characterising and modelling lahars on Karthala volcano, Grande Comore

My current research is focused on the investigation of the mechanisms and spatio-temporal dynamics of landslides in urban-sprawling contexts of the tropics. The research focuses specifically on the rapidly expanding city of Bukavu, situated along the Lake Kivu in DR Congo. This study deals with state-of-the-art remote sensing satellite data (Synthetic Aperture Radar, Very High-Resolution Optical imagery...), ground-based measurement techniques (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, DGPS measurements,...) and a field-based geomorphological mapping. This research will serve as a support for forecasting and risk management systems in the Kivu region.
