Academic Achievements
- On the editorial board of The Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS), a multi-disciplinary journal that promotes open source software. Program director of the MSc Geomatics at TU Delft, mainly involved in Digital terrain modelling and 3D modelling of the built environment courses.
Research Experience
- Currently working on several projects including efficient storage of 3D city models (CityJSON), reconstruction of global elevation models with “space lidar”, validation and automatic repair of polygons and polyhedra as found in GIS, semantic classification of urban textured meshes, and the impact of buildings’ LoDs in CFD predictions.
Education
- Holds a PhD in computer science from the University of South Wales in the UK, and a BSc in Geomatics Engineering from Université Laval in Québec City, Canada.
Background
- Associate-professor in the 3D geoinformation research group, particularly interested in combining the fields of GIS and computational geometry. Work involves developing topological data structures to store tessellations and designing algorithms to analyze and extract information from datasets.
Miscellany
- Strongly believes in implementing research ideas, the source code of projects is freely available under open-source licences. Has been using only free and open-source software for labs, such as rasterio, CGAL, cjio, startinpy, etc., for years.
