Paul Frémont

Postdoctoral Researcher, Weitz group, University of Maryland (College Park, USA), Simons Collaboration on Ocean Processes and Ecology (SCOPE).

I am a researcher in marine ecology with a special interest in plankton from viruses to small metazoans. I am especially interested in the large scale ecology and biogeochemistry of plankton as well as its acclimation and adaptation capabilities in response to climate change using multiple tools and data (see Research).  

Currently, I am developing mechanistic models of phytoplankton and virus ecology on a large scale to study their ecology, biogeochemical impacts, diversity and biogeography.

I conducted my doctoral studies in France at Genoscope (CEA) in the Genomic Analysis of Eukaryotes Lab (LAGE) in collaboration with the Climate and Environment Sciences Laboratory (LSCE/CEA) under the co-supervision of Olivier Jaillon (Genoscope/CEA) and Marion Gehlen (LSCE/CEA). I graduated as a PhD in Ecology in 2022 from Université Paris-Saclay.
