Hello

A Little About Me

I am a PhD Research Engineer currently working on "Big Data" management at the Pierre Simon Laplace Institute (IPSL) part from the National Centre of Scientific Research (CNRS), in Paris. With a broad general knowledge in geosciences, I'm really sensitive to climate engineering especially through economic issues due to environmental challenges.

You will find on this website some information on my scientific and teaching career.
