Research

While teaching electrical and electromechanical engineering for more than 25 years, in almost all french public schools and university levels (engineer schools, technicians trainings and courses), I've extended my skills in leading industrial projects. 
I studied propulsion and energy production based on electrical motor and devices (vectorial command for asynchronous motors, design and tests on vertical axis wind turbine with synchronous alternators, statics energy converters with optimal command laws...)
After many developments and interventions in data communication, embedded SCADA systems and high connectivity products IIoT, AIoT, IoT, I did some advanced researches in signal theory and computer vision, target tracking , AI based sensing networks in harsh environment and underwater applications.
My speciality consist in designing complex architecture of Distributed Intelligent System to enhance data valuation from Sensors to the Cloud through the edge level.
I worked for 10 years in research in the Fields of underwater wireless communication to develop new solutions for sensible site protection…
For now, as a system architect and Head of R&D in telemetry, robotics, electronics and advanced real time data computing systems I focus my energy to lead to success new and exciting projects in several domains such as connected objects, environmental remote monitoring, critical infrastructure monitoring, energy metering and multidomain operations to help to manage and protect the global ecosystem and life diversity.
