His work intends to install the very first flux tower of the Congo Basin forest within the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve of Yangambi (Tshopo Province, former Orientale Province, DRC). A flux tower measures the flux of important greenhouse gases (GHGs; CO2, CH4 and N20) which ultimately contributes to quantifying the global GHG budget.
Besides his management work, he has a great interest in the study of photosynthetic capacity of plants, actually focusing on plants originating from the Sahelian savannahs.
