Since 2020, he has been a research professional at the Direction de la recherche forestière. He is in charge, among other things, of planning and coordinating the implementation of second-generation validation monitoring systems for irregular shelterwood in hardwood, mixed and coniferous stands, as well as selection cutting in hardwood stands. He is primarily interested in forest management (whether strategical, tactical or operational), timber marking and inventory work, as well as sugar maple cultivation.
