TEAM

Three expertises
at the cutting edge of science

Three passionate scientists one shared vision on the relationship between humans and nature. Together through their collaborations, understood that their expertise put together would allow them to better address the environmental challenges of the 21st century.
Under the Eco2urb banner, Jérôme Dupras, Andrew Gonzalez and Christian Messier have rallied a team of young, highly committed professionals to offer a strategic, integrated, practical and agile consulting service that applies and tailors planning tools at the cutting edge of science to your environmental challenges.

Scientific direction

Jérôme Dupras

Jérôme Dupras
​Co-Founder

Jérôme (PhD) is professor of Ecological Economics in the Department for Natural Sciences at the Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO) and a researcher at ISFORT, Canada’s first research institute dedicated to studying temperate forests. He holds the first-ever Canada Research Chair in Ecological Economics. His fields of expertise are ecological economics, land use management and environmental governance.
Andrew Gonzalez

​Andrew Gonzalez
​Co-Founder

Andrew (PhD) is  professor in the Department of Biology at McGill University in Montreal and holds the Liber Ero Chair in Conservation Biology. He is also the founding Director of the Quebec Centre for Biodiversity Science.  An expert in ecology and biodiversity sciences , he specializes in the study of connectivity and ecological networks.
Christian Messier

​Christian Messier
​Co-Founder

Christian​ (PhD) is professor in the Department of Biology at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) and in the Department of Natural Sciences at the Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO). He holds the NSERC/Hydro-Québec Chair on Tree Growth Control and the Canada Chair in Forest Resilience Under Global Change. His works involve the study of ecological and silvicultural factors affecting temperate forest dynamic.

Projects

Véronique Dumais-Lalonde
Project manager

Véronique (MScA) studied the conservation and management of natural resources before taking an interest in multidisciplinary approaches to managing urban forests in the context of global environmental change. She has mainly worked in arboriculture within the city of Montréal in order to contribute to the conservation of its urban canopy.
Cornelia Garbe

Fanny Maure
Project manager

Fanny (PhD) has a doctoral degree in ecology and evolutionary biology, with a research ​interest in sustainable development. She currently assesses tree management practices in cities that promote ecosystem services. She works as a research assistant in Dr. Messier’s laboratory at UQAM and her projects aim to protect green infrastructure by making science more accessible to the public.

Olivier Tanguy
​
Project coordinator

Olivier (MScA) has a background in geography. He specializes in sustainable forest management and is familiar with most of Quebec's natural landscape as a result of conducting numerous forest inventories across the province. His interest in better understanding the role of forests in the face of climate change also motivated him to participate in the development of the future forest management plan for the Innus Essipit First Nation.

Sylvia Wood
Lead Scientist of R & D

Annick St-Denis
Postdoctoral fellow

Raouf Belbahar
Intern

As Lead Scientist of Research and Development, Sylvia (PhD) works with our projects team to innovate and ensure that they reflect the latest scientific advances in ecosystem sciences, streamline our workflows, and seek out opportunities and partnerships to expand the suite of products which Eco2urb can offer its clientele.
Annick (Ph. D.) has worked towards improving sustainable development as a consultant for the City of Laval before joining Eco2urb as a postdoctoral fellow (UQO). She has led several projects focused on conservation  planning, ecological restoration, ecosystemic service valuation and urban forestry. She is particularly interested in functional diversity and resilience and is currently focused on integrating these concepts within a machine-learning software to help guide urban forest managers' tree species selection.
As a Master's student in computer science and artificial intelligence (UQAM), Raouf is passionate about making technology more widely accessible. He is currently working with the Eco2urb team to develop SylvCiT, a software which, based on machine learning and optimization methods, aims to help urban forest managers maximize tree diversity and resilience.
