His research interests are in mitigating global environmental change and adapting vulnerable communities to a changing environment. He is currently researching biomass-sourced climate change mitigation strategies and their effects on global conservation goals and local crop production. He received his Ph.D. in 2022 in earth system science from the University of California, Irvine, where his dissertation focused on the energy-sector challenges of limiting future climate warming at or below 2oC and the impacts on global agricultural systems if international climate targets are surpassed. Robert has also previously served on the Orange County Chapter of the Society for Conservation Biology (OCSCB) board, and he is now a part of the National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) Postdoctoral Council (PDC). Before entering academia, Robert worked on various environmental issues facing indigenous\u00a0communities in North America and spearheaded wildlife conservation efforts across Southern California.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-11rpqe-b0b32be297a8d7bbe4d08dea17ebc4de av_one_third  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_two_third  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-10zc7e-f88ada137890ef00aaf557bedd8e8659 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-619\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.lifesci.ucla.edu\/eeb-ordway\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/314\/2025\/06\/Stephane_Momo_crop.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"524\" height=\"709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.lifesci.ucla.edu\/eeb-ordway\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/314\/2025\/06\/Stephane_Momo_crop.jpg 524w, https:\/\/sites.lifesci.ucla.edu\/eeb-ordway\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/314\/2025\/06\/Stephane_Momo_crop-222x300.jpg 222w, https:\/\/sites.lifesci.ucla.edu\/eeb-ordway\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/314\/2025\/06\/Stephane_Momo_crop-521x705.jpg 521w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-10muwe-32c9c366e9fc63728d800046b6caf058 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-94ozm-db50fd67eccf8a09b488fdc326ef38bf\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-94ozm-db50fd67eccf8a09b488fdc326ef38bf{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-94ozm-db50fd67eccf8a09b488fdc326ef38bf .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-94ozm-db50fd67eccf8a09b488fdc326ef38bf .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-94ozm-db50fd67eccf8a09b488fdc326ef38bf av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-16  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >St\u00e9phane Momo<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-10amry-3b20c3213696c2eabb324414ed3167c5 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"wsite-content-title\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: large\">Research Scientist<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: large\">S.Momo-Takoudjou [at] cgiar [dot] org<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">St\u00e9phane Momo completed his Ph.D. in tropical plant ecology at the University of Yaound\u00e9 1 in Cameroon in collaboration with the French Research Institute for Development (IRD) in Montpellier. He specializes in tropical ecology and biometry, with expertise in quantifying carbon stocks using technologies such as terrestrial LiDAR and drones. Before joining UCLA, he completed a postdoc at the Tropical Forestry Laboratory in the Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech School at the University of Li\u00e8ge. St\u00e9phane Momo has over 14 years of experience in biodiversity, carbon stock estimation, and sustainable forest management in African tropical forests. He played a key role in establishing a network of 1 ha permanent plots to study forest dynamics (growth, mortality, tree recruitment) and assess their biomass in several countries in the Congo Basin.
