About Me
Life Purpose:
With a profound understanding of applied sciences, physics, mathematics, and (generative) AI, I am committed to deciphering the complexities of intricate geophysical data. My mission is to forge strategic partnerships across various disciplines, enabling a comprehensive understanding of natural and industrial processes, and delivering actionable insights to clients
Vision and Impact:
Innovation in the energy sector exemplifies human ingenuity and collective effort. It involves creating smarter, more eco-responsible extraction methods, requiring multi-energy development globally, aiming to gradually replace conventional fuels, and using AI-assisted processes to optimize production and storage. My current work is reshaping the pre-industrialization era, fostering a sustainable ecosystem where humanity is responsible for both health and technological advancement.

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) :
