Summary
Etienne Delay is a researcher with 11 years of experience applying fieldwork-driven, co-constructed modelling and agent-based simulations to landscape dynamics and collective resource management. Based in Dakar and currently at CIRAD, he has investigated steep vineyard landscapes, water governance, and Sahelian vegetation cover through interdisciplinary projects that bridge spatial, social, cultural and economic dimensions. He combines deep technical expertise in spatial modelling, Open Source geospatial tools (active in OSGeo and OpenMOLE) and participatory methods to produce forward-looking scenarios and sensitivity analyses. Known for sustaining long-lived research networks across Europe and West Africa, he also brings practical webGIS experience from early industry work. Outside academia he is engaged in free-software communities and brings a curious, cross-disciplinary mindset shaped by travel, zététique and dystopian SF.
