Hydroclimate research assistant at ClimET-UP analyzing climate and hydrological data, with GR4J rainfall-runoff projections published in Water.

Benin
Message

At the Laboratoire de Climatologie et d'Ethnoclimatologie de l'Université de Parakou (Labo ClimET-UP), I model rainfall-runoff with GR4J and assess climate projections. My work includes evaluating bias in CMIP6 models and modeling floods with MIKE SHE, including automating data preparation in Python.

I analyze climate and hydrological records using R, Python, and QGIS, and have contributed to six scientific articles and communications, including a 2026 article in Water (MDPI). I also work on agricultural climate adaptation and rural climate justice; through the Jeunes Genres Ruraux de Ouessè project, I accompanied more than 210 people.
