About Me
Engineer in applied mathematics and scientific computing.
Research engineer
Centre d'Études Spatiales de la BIOsphère (CESBIO - CNRS)
Since April 2016
- Improved in Python the atmospheric correction processor MAJA (MACCS-ATCOR Joint Algorithm) used on Sentinel-2 data.
- Used aerosol forecast data from CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) to constrain the aerosol type to correct.
Research assistant
Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) / University of New South Wales (UNSW)
February 2015
to August 2015
Sydney
Australia - New South Wales
- Developed in IDL a compositing algorithm between satellite and reanalysis data, describing the characteristics of low altitude clouds over the Pacific ocean.
- Maintained an algorithm detecting and tracking extra tropical cyclones and associating vertical velocity and cloud cover data.
Research engineer
Laboratoire d’Etudes en Géophysique et Océanographie Spatiales (LEGOS - CNRS)
March 2014
to January 2015
Toulouse
France
- Maintained the TOOCAN algorithm (Tracking Of Organized Convection Algorithm through a 3-D segmentatioN) detecting and tracking Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCS) from geostationary data.
- Developed and maintained, in IDL, algorithms describing the evolution of geophysical parameters (rain, longwave flux and albedo from the Megha-Tropiques satellite) along the MCS lifecycles.
