About me

Forest Engineer with PhD in agronomy (thesis on the assimilation of remote sensing data in crop growth models).

I am part of the 'Agriculture, territory and technologies integration' Unit of CRA-W where I am the head of the 'Earth Observation' division.

Description of my unit can be found here: https://www.cra.wallonie.be/en/agriculture-territory-and-technologies-integration-unit

I am mainly involved in (regional, federal and European) projects focused on crops, grasslands and forest monitoring (with EO data).

our current projects are focused on winter wheat and potato nitrogen monitoring, on grassland growth monitoring. We are also involved in an ESA project in the frame of the Destination Earth initative.

I am also responsible for the publication of agro-meteorological bulletins (https://bcgms.be/fr/bulletins/)) and for geodata at CRA-W.
