I am working on a field-scale research project to measure and understand nitrous oxide (N_₂O) emissions from agricultural soils. My focus is on identifying key environmental and management factors, improving spatial sampling using geophysical methods, and exploring mitigation strategies. The goal is to support more efficient, data-driven approaches for reducing N₂O emissions in agroecosystems.

My work revolves around understanding how and why agricultural soils emit nitrous oxide. I spend a good part of my time in the field, setting up chambers, running gas analyzers, checking sensors, and collecting soil samples across different parts of the field. Back in the office and lab, I organize and clean the data, combine measurements from multiple sources, and build statistical and spatial models to see which soil properties and management practices drive N₂O emissions. I’m especially interested in how compaction and soil structure create hotspots, and how we can design smarter sampling strategies using geophysical tools and remote sensing. Alongside my research, I write papers, prepare conference presentations, and collaborate closely with technicians, students, and colleagues. I also contribute to teaching and make sure all field and lab activities follow safety and data-quality standards.
