Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexandre Schimel is a hydrography data specialist and researcher with 11+ years applying underwater acoustics, signal and image processing to multibeam, sidescan, lidar, drone and satellite data. He holds a PhD in Earth and Ocean Sciences and combines deep domain expertise in active-sonar physics with practical coding skills in MATLAB and Python, authoring the open CoFFee multibeam processing toolbox. His work spans academic and applied roles—from NIWA and the Geological Survey of Norway to industry at Deep BV—where he develops methods to estimate kelp biomass, infer seabed sediment from backscatter, and accelerate video analysis with deep learning. Comfortable bridging research and operational hydrography, he brings a rare mix of theoretical acoustics, hands-on survey experience, and reproducible tooling that speeds marine remote-sensing workflows.
