About Me
Study, Research and Development Engineer (Pau/Toulouse). I have a scientific culture relatively diversified, mainly focused on applied mathematics/physics; I keep moving in discovering and learning every day.
During my training as geophysicist @EOST (Strasbourg, 2018), I mainly specialized in geophysical data analysis and processing as well as in scientific programming. Furthermore, my final-year internship in R&D completed @CLS Group (Toulouse) and my research experiences (@EOST/@IPGS, @DIAS) allowed me to confirm my aspiration and my passion to oceanography, geophysics and applied sciences broadly speaking. In addition, I was able to learn the values of work at VIVIRAD S.A. which involve daily conviviality and commitment to customers and collaborators.
One of my professional vocation will be to collaborate with specialists and in teams; indeed, my mid-term career goal is to work on R&D projects which would have a global reach. My ASTYPIC consultant Julien DAVADANT will help me to reach my personal and professional goals.

R&D internship @CLS Group - Satellite altimetry (SRAL) & Spectrometry (OLCI) | Sentinel-3A
Collecte Localisation Satellites (CLS)
March 2018
to August 2018
- Improving the teledetection and the characterization of icebergs for around-the-world sailing races using Sentinel-3A multi-sensor data (SRAL, OLCI) - Copernicus Programme
Around-the-world sailing races (CLS) [FR]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evkd5dSel-Q

CLS Group (presentation) [EN]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld_bEHlke3g&t=1s
CLS race: https://www.cls.fr/en/vg2016-race-satellite-surveillance/ - Investigation and exploitation of characteristic peaks found in the Level-2 (Sentinel-3A) SRAL ocean data
- Characterize the presence of icebergs in the Trailing Edge portion of SAR echoes
- Design and develop processing chains and automated workflows (Python & Script shell) for the mapping of icebergs at different threshold levels under Google Earth (generation of kmz files)
- Investigate OLCI data using the SNAP toolbox for prototyping for the implementation of automated workflows in Python
- Implementation of a method for the discrimination of cloud/sea ice/cloud ice
- Compare the capacity of observation between the altimetry missions Jason-2/3, Saral/Altika, HY-2 with the mission Sentinel-3A (conventional vs SAR altimetry)
- Analyse the current drift of Sargasses near the Caribbean Sea
Detailed Description
- Eventually, the service of iceberg teledetection and monitoring provided by CLS integrate since then the cartography of icebergs coming from Sentinel-3A (satellite altimetry, SAR & p-LRM modes) as well as hectometric sea ice/icebergs (including those located under clouds that do not contain cloud ice ^^) found in OLCI processed images (300 m = OLCI Full Resolution).
Furthermore, I also study the current Sargassum seaweeds issue near the Caribbean Islands using OLCI processed images (cf MCI = Maximum Chlorophyll Index) :
