Forskning
I am a PhD candidate with a background in Geomatics and Remote Sensing.
In my current research, I develop geospatial deep learning algorithms to map marine oil slicks from satellite remote sensing, primarily SAR. Progress on this notoriously challenging task will enable new analyses of natural oil seepage systems which have important environmental implications at the basin scale (e.g. hydrocarbon migration, geological storage).
Formidling
I gave an interview at Les Années Lumière, the science radio programme of the Canadian public broadcaster, to speak about our recent discovery of an episodic seep.
I regularly take part in scientific conferences. In 2026, I will present new findings at IGARSS and the ISPRS congress.
