I am a data scientist and researcher, specialised in urban analytics / modelling / visualization.
Born in France
Educated in the UK and Switzerland
Currently based in Oxford, UK.
Developping geospatial analytics, software and models of economic activity across the globe for studying infrastructure resilience and risk mitigation.
This is a mini package for doubly constrained spatial interaction models. With a c++ backend, it is very fast and memory efficient.
An interactive web app to navigate the MOMA collection through time, geography, colors and more
A study on waste flows across England and the circular economy aspects of that industry.
Developing methods to understand the city on a local, neighborhood scale from mobility patterns and distribution of amenities.

We showed our work on investigating neighbourhood clusters in cities through the formalism of complex systems at the CCS2024 in Exeter. I could not make it there physically, but my colleague Phil did a great job presenting in front in the main auditorium.
And fabulous Phil is now presenting work done with Ivann Schlosser and Alexei Poliakov @CASAUCL pic.twitter.com/SsWOCbFk34

I started a new job at the University of Oxford !! Joining the OPSIS group within the Environmental Change Institute at the School of Geography. My main work will focus on analytical methods to localise economic activity across the world, from regional and country scale, down to the building level.

I presented at the FOSS4G:UK conference earlier in september talking about our research on active travel commuting and the open source software we used and developped.

We published a paper on open source methods for large scale spatial interaction models applied to active travel. Have a look if you are intrested in manipulating large scale road networks, and building predictive models of commuter flows. arXiv.
