Nicolas Audebert is a junior research director and AI scientist with 11 years of experience specializing in deep learning, computer vision and generative models for Earth Observation. Based in Paris, he leads research at IGN’s LASTIG laboratory while holding a tenured associate professorship at Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, teaching and publishing on image representation, segmentation, retrieval and synthesis. His background spans academia and industry—from a PhD at the University of South Brittany and research at ONERA to applied R&D in automated document processing—giving him a strong track record of bridging theory and practical systems. He is particularly focused on adapting generative approaches to geospatial imagery, an area where his work marries remote sensing needs with cutting-edge ML methods. An uncommon asset is his combined expertise in astrophysics and AI-for-games applications, which informs creative cross-disciplinary solutions.
