Description:

RadX SaaS Platform Manager / Responsable de la plateforme SaaS RadX

Current Project:

I joined HM&Co lab of École des Ponts ParisTech to develop the Fresnel SaaS (software as a service) platform. As cities are put under greater pressure from the threat of the global impact of climate change, in particular the risk of heavier rainfall and flooding, there is a growing need to establish a hierarchical form of resilience in which critical infrastructure can become sustainable. The Fresnel platform has been purposely set-up to provide the concerned communities with the necessary observation data thanks to an unprecedented deployment of higher resolution sensors, that easily yield Big Data.

The HM&Co laboratory developed the RadX platform to firstly make high-resolution data from the X-band polarimetric radar and from the Taramis platform (e.g. disdrometers) available to a wide range of users. After developing differentiated access by profile, RadX became a SaaS platform allowing simulations to be carried out online, in particular using Multi-Hydro, a fully distributed hybrid hydrological model based on physical principles, which are not necessarily deterministic.

RadX aims to train future engineers and researchers, and to study in detail the complex interactions between the city and its geophysical environment, in order to develop effective adaptation strategies to face the challenges posed by climate change, but also to collaborate with industrialists through the Fresnel platform of the ENPC Co-Innovation Lab by enabling the integration of their models and data.

Experiences:

I have a Master of Applied Physics: waves and complex environments, from Université de Marne la Vallée. During my master intership I worked on improving the digital panoramic X-rays at Faculté de chirurgie dentaire de Paris.

I also worked for 10 years at an international scientific publisher, where I grew my development skills and knowledges on scientific diffusion on the web.
