Jean-Sébastien designs software for the real-time collection and processing of geographical data acquired by lidar sensors or specialised cameras. With a master’s degree in computer science, he has also developed solid expertise in the design of embedded systems and the analysis of geospatial data using artificial intelligence.

Nathalie works mainly with images from airborne sensors and GNSS data. With a bachelor’s degree in geomatics applied to the environment and a research master’s in geography and remote sensing, she has taken part in a number of scientific expeditions to remote regions.

Minhui is a postdoctoral researcher with a passion for the study of forest ecosystems. She holds a PhD in geography from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and carried out post-doctoral research in Germany and Canada, where she developed in-depth expertise in dendrochronology and forest ecology. Her work focuses on the impact of climate change on forests, the reconstruction of past environments and biodiversity conservation.

Djibril began his academic career at the University of Thiès, where he obtained a degree in geometric engineering. He then went on to study at Laval University to further his knowledge of geomatics. Before joining our team, he carried out advanced research on the processing of lidar and hyperspectral data acquired by drone, demonstrating his expertise in the field of remote sensing.

Nesrine works closely with the team in various phases of our projects (analysis, design, implementation, testing) and maintains our systems. After studying computer engineering and management in Montpellier, she completed a master’s degree in computer science at UQAC. Before joining the QGC, Nesrine worked as a web developer – AI.

Jérôme is a software developer with a passion for web technologies. With a degree in computer science from the University of Quebec in Chicoutimi, he quickly acquired solid professional experience developing innovative web applications. His mandates at Mapgears and the Public Finance Department in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, have enabled him to master a wide range of technologies and development methodologies.

Carlos is an integration technician and participates particularly in the development of prototypes of embedded systems, sensors, and communication between devices. He has a bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering. He collaborates in the design and development of various projects related to electronic systems and their software.

Steven began his career with our team through the Mitacs program, where he was able to put his computer science knowledge into practice and develop new skills in industrial innovation. Now a computer science teacher at Cégep de Chicoutimi, he continues to be involved in our projects, bringing both a pedagogical and scientific perspective.

Rémy assesses the robotics, artificial intelligence and computer vision needs of the projects to which he is assigned. He holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and a master’s specialized in humanoid robotics and control. During a research internship at the University of Tsukuba, Japan, he worked on new optimal control techniques.

Danesh is a geomatics engineering researcher whose work focuses on the application of deep learning to the analysis of geospatial data. By combining his passion for computer vision with his expertise in geomatics, he aims to develop powerful tools for extracting valuable knowledge from our environments. His research opens up new perspectives for intelligent urban planning, environmental monitoring and natural risk management.

Johanne provides administrative and accounting support for the Centre. With a diploma in office automation and accounting, her attention to detail is indispensable for keeping track of the CGQ’s many projects.
