Alexandre Chausson

I grew up in Paris, France and moved to the United States at the age of 11, first to Pennsylvania, and subsequently to Princeton, New Jersey where I attended High School. I majored in Biology at Rutgers University-New Brunswick and obtained my MSc in Ecology from the University of Lausanne in Switzerland at the department of Ecology and Evolution.

​My interests can be broadly grouped in ecology and conservation. First and foremost this involves anthropogenic influences on nature and the environment, with a specific focus on natural populations and ecological interactions, in both marine and terrestrial systems. In parallel I am interested in improving conservation efforts through a multi-disciplinary approach - how ecological and sociological knowledge can be integrated into effective conservation measures such as human-wildlife conflict mitigation and wildlife coexistence. I am also interested in initiatives building capacity and resilience through awareness, education and training to improve livelihoods conservation efforts.
