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

Current Role:
As an R&D engineer at TotalEnergies OneTech SE in CSTJF (Pau, France), I harness cutting-edge Computer Vision frameworks to develop innovative solutions in microalgae, robotics, satellite imagery, seismic, and drone technologies. My contributions are pivotal in driving (bio)fuel production, seismic data processing, and ecological conservation within this multi-energies and CleanTech enterprise. Committed to tackling environmental challenges directly, I focus on sustainable practices and the impactful deployment of AI applications, utilizing our robust High-Performance Machine Learning (HPML) resources.

Advanced Scientific Computing Engineer (Computer Vision
Developing innovative solutions in image processing and Computer Vision, leveraging TotalEnergies’ High Performance Machine Learning (HPML) environment.

• Computer Vision Frameworks: Expertise in object detection and instance segmentation using YOLO-v8, Detectron2, and TFOD. Proficient in image processing with OpenCV scripting for R&D projects like ARGOS (robotics), MicroDeep (microalgae), Biodiversity (phototraps), and SYRACO (nannofossils).

• Workflow Automation: Streamlined and unified Computer Vision components using the Snakemake workflow management library (Python).

• Green Water Flow Quantification: Combined Sentinel-2, PlanetScope, and drone imagery with in-situ weather station data to quantify evapotranspiration for the WACAPOU R&D project. Utilized tools like Sentinel-Hub EOBrowser, ArcGIS PRO, PlanetExplorer, Google Earth Engine and QGIS.
Contributing to a poster for the SPIE Sensors + Imaging conference based in Edinburgh (September 2024)

• Biodiversity Preservation:
- Utilized the Microsoft PyTorch-Wildlife collaborative framework for automated biodiversity labeling.
- Conducted database correction and validation with the expertise of specialist ecologists.
- Performed extraction, data augmentation, and classification of animal images using YOLOv8-cls
Contributed to the preservation and census of animal species near TotalEnergies assets.

• Geological Facies Prediction: Applied Gradient Boosting Decision Trees (GBDT) models to predict geological facies using 3D seismic cubes. Evaluated I/O performance across different file systems.

• Seismic Data Analysis/Processing: Enhanced the internal DIVA seismic toolbox for SEG-Y/SEP data analysis and processing on Pangea-3/4 supercomputers.

Baccalauréat (High School)- Graduated with honors
Exploration lessons during my first year of high school (biotechnology 🧬, physics ⚛️ and chemistry 🧪) allow me to work in laboratories which comforted me to undertake a secondary education in science.

I also created a website (written in French in 2011) to introduce the current issue of groundwater pollution in Alsace : 💧
