Who am I ?

Linkedin

Agronomist, Data Analyst for agro-environmental data, Blogger

  • Multidisciplinary skills (Agronomy, Geomatics, Statistics, IT)
  • A profile at the public/private interface
  • A network of experts to support me
  • Very involved in the fight and adaptation to climate change (association)

After a general education in agronomy and a master specialized in ICT for agriculture, I did a PhD in the field of Precision Agriculture (labelled #Digitag). With several experiences in public structures (CITRA [Chile], Landcare Research [New Zealand], Montpellier SupAgro, INRAE) and private companies (Telespazio, SMAG) in analysis and processing of spatialized agronomic data, I decided to create my own company to support the actors of digital agriculture in the development of their agronomic data.

We have worked together

My previous research work

For visitors interested in my research experience, you will find references below

For interested readers, my thesis is available on the ResearchGate research network. I worked on the exploitation and valorization of spatialized information in Precision Agriculture, and more particularly on within-field yield data. Enjoy reading it!
