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.

  • Improving the teledetection and the characterization of icebergs for around-the-world sailing races using Sentinel-3A multi-sensor data (SRAL, OLCI) - Copernicus Programme

  • 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

  • Checking the bias of Potsdam value for surface gravity observations over Ireland using Satellite Gradiometry

    Context of the study :
    https://www.dias.ie/cp/geo/geo-gravity-data/
  • I unified the Northern Ireland gravity data with those from the Republic of Ireland, i.e. data owned by DIAS (GMT)
  • I made a cubic interpolation of unified data sets and I found the reference gravity field of the Bouguer anomalies occurring in the DIAS gravity data set
  • I compared the interpolated surface gravity (i.e. DIAS data) with those derived from global gravity field models, the satellite GOCO05S model and the combined EGM2008 model
    Eventually, I was able to explain the origin of the bias.
Detailed Description
  • The issue of the gravity gap located exactly at the irish geopolitical border wasn't explained for more than 30 years, after the death of Dr. Thomas Murphy (DIAS).
    https://www.dias.ie/2013/05/03/internal-publications/
    I eventually gave a satisfactory explanation to this issue thanks to my investigation during this research internship. Henceforth, an explanation between the gravity map coming from the land-based relative measurements (1950-1980) and the map generated from gradiometry measurements (GOCO05S or EGM2008 models) needs to be given.
  • Thesis proposal with Professor Martinec ZDENEK (afterwards):
    Height unication for the entire Ireland to evaluate a precise value of the geopotential W0 using Tide Gauges data and Ocean Modelling Circulation
