Short CV

Aggeliki Doxa is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biology, University of Crete, and an affiliated faculty member of the Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics at FORTH (IACM-FORTH). She holds a degree in Environmental Studies from the University of the Aegean (Mytilene, 2004) and an MSc in Ecology, Biodiversity and Evolution from Sorbonne Université (Paris, 2005). She obtained her PhD in Ecology from the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (Paris, 2009).

She has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Greek and French universities and research institutes, including Pierre et Marie Curie–Sorbonne Université, the Centre d’Ecologie Fonctionnelle et Evolutive, the Institut des Sciences de l’Evolution – Université de Montpellier, Aix-Marseille Université, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH).

Her main research interests focus on systematic conservation planning and the design of networks of protected areas, in the context of climate change and human pressures. She specializes in the development of ecological monitoring and modeling techniques, the analysis of climatic and topographic heterogeneity, and the assessment of climate change impacts across space and time in terrestrial and marine ecosystems, with particular emphasis on Mediterranean Europe.
