Antoine Guisan develops predictive models of species distribution (fauna, flora, micro-organisms...), particularly in the Vaud Alps. He develops models for managing rare species, assessing the impact of climate change on biodiversity and anticipating biological invasions. He is one of the Swiss authors of the IPBES, where he discusses the interactions between nature and society, and the future dynamics of biodiversity. He is also head of Ecospat, the spatial ecology group at UNIL.

Antoine Guisan is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Geosciences and Environment and the Faculty of Biology and Medicine at UNIL since 2017. He earned his doctorate at the University of Geneva and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University. In 2022, he was awarded by the International Biogeography Society for his theoretical and methodological contributions to understanding and predicting species distributions and communities.
