Élise Filotas

Élise Filotas is a Professor at Université TÉLUQ and a researcher affiliated with the TÉLUQ Data Science Lab, Centre for Forest Research, and Quebec Centre for Biodiversity Science. Her research focuses on applying complex systems science to study forest ecosystems, addressing ecological community dynamics and the interplay between forest management and ecosystem function. She actively participates in sessions on urban community resilience and disaster risk reduction in changing climates.

Her interdisciplinary work develops quantitative models to analyze ecological processes at multiple scales, emphasizing how species interactions and dispersal influence population dynamics. She explores how management practices impact forest functionality and resilience in peri-urban and urban contexts.
