Dr. Bruno Senterre holds a Docteur en Écologie from the Université libre de Bruxelles, where he continues to serve as a scientific collaborator. Originally from Belgium, he has been resident in Seychelles since 2008 and works as an international consultant.

His principal areas of expertise include botany, ecosystem science, and applied and theoretical ecology, alongside database design and management. His research focuses on the study of habitat types in tropical regions as a framework for analysing broader levels of biodiversity organisation. His scientific approach is grounded in transdisciplinarity, systems thinking, and conceptual integration.

Trained as a tropical agronomy engineer, Dr. Senterre has more than twenty years of experience in environmental studies, encompassing scientific research, consultancy, project management, and the training of early-career researchers in Europe and developing countries.

He possesses extensive expertise in restoration ecology, conservation ecology, functional ecology, vegetation typology and taxonomy, biogeography, and biological invasions. He has conducted biodiversity inventories in complex environments including tropical rainforests, tropical islands, montane forests, and fragmented habitats.

His methodological strength lies in a transdisciplinary systems-based perspective, drawing conceptual connections across ecological scales and domains. He identifies primarily as a systems ecologist and naturalist.

His field experience includes several years in the forests of Central Africa (Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of Congo), as well as fieldwork in the Caribbean, Central America, Seychelles, and Malaysia.

His technical expertise includes GIS (Geographic Information Systems), statistical analysis, biodiversity inventory and assessment, restoration programme implementation, ecological risk analysis, database architecture and development, herbarium curation, numerical taxonomy, and the development of interactive species identification tools.
