Summary
Florent Poux is a Course Director and 3D geodata specialist with nine years of experience transforming point-cloud research into practical training, products and academic impact across industry and universities. He designs hands-on curricula and leads innovation at 3D Geodata Academy, GEOSAT3D and multiple academic appointments, bridging teaching, R&D and commercialisation in 3D perception, photogrammetry and Geo-AI. A PhD-level geomatics researcher with postdoctoral work in computer graphics, he focuses on contextual and scalable point-cloud processing and geometric deep learning for real-world applications. Known for anticipating tech trends and mentoring engineers and students, he combines rigorous engineering (Python/C++/MATLAB) with a talent for turning complex spatial data into teachable, deployable solutions. Based in Toulouse, he’s equally curious about intelligence and pedagogy—an educator at heart who engineers elegant, often surprising, ways to make 3D data useful.
