I’m a senior scientist specialising in data-driven methods for visual understanding — particularly in the context of our planet (AI for Earth). Over time, I developed a strong interest in strategic planning and now serve as a policy officer for Green Deal (Destination Earth) and AI applications with DG Connect at the European Commission. Previously, I have been with the Image-Vision-Learning team at ONERA and the Φ-lab at ESA/ESRIN.

My work has been for long at the crossroads of statistics, machine learning, image processing, computer vision, and quantum computing. I am interested in tackling practical problems that arise in Earth observation and Earth sciences, to bring solutions to current environment and society challenges. For recent works, check my latest publications, my last research topics, or some resources on learning beyond labels.

I am a seasoned speaker in events related to AI, Earth observation, or Quantum Computing (talk list) as well as organiser of workshops and events (including the CVPR Earth Vision worskhop series (e.g. CVPR’2024/EarthVision’24 workshop), the NeurIPS workshops on Weather Forecast or AI for Disaster Response, the ESA / ECMWF workshops on Machine Learning for Earth System Observation and Prediction (#1, #2). I have been co-chair (2015–2017) and chair (2017–2019) for the IEEE GRSS Technical Committee on Image Analysis and Data Fusion, an associate editor of the Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters (GRSL) and guest editor of several special issues in IEEE journals.
