Summary
Louis-philippe Rousseau is an engineering consultant in Québec with 11 years of experience specializing in modeling and simulation for defence systems, particularly at Defence R&D Canada (DRDC). He brings deep expertise in multichannel spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) signal processing—covering GMTI, high-resolution wide-swath (HRWS), polarimetry and interferometry—and implements production-grade algorithms in MATLAB. His career blends sustained academic research (Ph.D. work and multiple internships) with applied projects for agencies like ESA and the Canadian Space Agency, reflecting both theoretical rigor and operational awareness. Comfortable in Linux and proficient in scientific programming (MATLAB, Python, C/C++), he has repeatedly developed signal simulation and processing toolchains used for sensor modeling and RADARSAT/Sentinel data analysis. Notably, his work spans from antenna-array radiation-pattern simulation to large-scale SAR image formation, a combination that enables end-to-end evaluation of spaceborne GMTI capabilities. He pairs methodical research publication and conference experience with hands-on engineering delivering simulation capabilities for defence research.
