Summary
Julius Bañgate is a multidisciplinary computer scientist and postdoctoral researcher at IGN LASTIG with over a decade of experience building multi-agent models, simulations and visualisations for complex socio-environmental systems. His work spans pedestrian evacuation modelling for seismic crises, synthetic population and activity generation for household energy use, and multimodal transport/logistics simulations applied to French ports and the Seine Axis. Currently he focuses on visualising ensemble forecasts of coastal flooding for the ANR‑ORACLES project in collaboration with BRGM and MétéoFrance, blending GIS, remote sensing and ensemble meteorology. Julius brings a rare combination of hands-on geomatics expertise—remote sensing, GIS and GPS—from his early career in the Philippines together with advanced agent-based and graph‑theoretic methods developed during his PhD and successive postdocs in France. He has a pragmatic track record of translating interdisciplinary research into applied tools for planners and utilities, and often bridges social science insight with computational models. An understated strength is his long history managing RS/GIS labs and training programs, which complements his research with operational delivery and capacity building.
