Summary
Sébastien Roy is a research scientist with 13 years of experience specializing in pattern recognition, X-ray image processing, and optical/digital correlation, currently based at INO in Quebec. He holds a PhD in Physics from Université Laval and has a strong track record translating optical theory into practical inspection tools, from building optical correlators to designing calibration targets and simulators for pseudo dual-energy X-ray systems. Previously at Optosecurity he developed threat-detection algorithms and optimized correlation filters for carry-on baggage screening, combining image segmentation expertise with systems-level engineering. Comfortable across academic and applied R&D environments, he also has hands-on experience setting up IT infrastructures and computing clusters for research teams. Notably, his background blends deep interferometry and spatial light modulator work with pragmatic software and hardware integration, making him adept at moving complex imaging research into deployable solutions.
