Data Scavenging • Geospatial modeling • Low-Cost Sensors
Hi. I’m a researcher in agroclimatology and geospatial modeling at CIRAD, TETIS lab. I develop geospatial models—notably of the SARRA family—that ingest environmental and remote sensing data to understand and predict crop and environmental responses to climate shifts in Sahelian Africa and in the French Caribbean. To address data scarcity, I use “data scavenging” and design low?cost sensing and acquisition workflows, turning underused datasets into decision?ready information for farmers and policy makers. Trained as an agricultural engineer with a PhD in systems biology on the rice crown?root gene regulatory network, I combine modeling, remote sensing, and machine learning to support climate?smart practices and resilient food systems. Before CIRAD, I led R&D at Sowit, a French?Moroccan agtech startup.
