Charlène Guillaumot wins thesis prize from the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco

Charlène Guillaumot has been awarded the 2024–2025 thesis prize by the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco, in partnership with the Academy of Sciences. Each year, this prize is awarded to a young researcher from a French doctoral school for thesis work that contributes to the advancement of knowledge about the ocean.

Charlène Guillaumot, who holds a PhD in environmental sciences, completed her thesis under the joint supervision of Thomas Saucède at the Biogeosciences Laboratory of the Free University of Brussels and the Université Bourgogne Europe. Defended in 2021, her thesis focused on improving numerical methods for modelling the distribution and development of marine species in Antarctica in the context of climate change.

Her research has resulted in 17 scientific publications, proposing innovative methodologies and ecological assessments aimed at better understanding environmental impacts in polar environments. She then continued her research as a postdoctoral fellow at the Université Bourgogne Europe, focusing on the development of artificial intelligence tools applied to ecology.
Recently recruited by the CNRS, within the OSU THETA, Charlène Guillaumot is now contributing to the development of a digital services and resources hub linked to major national research infrastructures.
