Summary
Simon Madec is a research scientist based in France with eight years of experience applying deep learning and multi-source remote sensing to agricultural and environmental problems. Currently at CIRAD, he develops computer vision methods for high-resolution crop phenotyping, combining multispectral and RGB imagery to retrieve biophysical variables from aerial and satellite platforms. His background spans PhD-level image analysis and signal processing from Grenoble INP and INRA, plus hands-on engineering experience in drone imaging, solar forecasting, and real-time video processing. Known for bridging theory and field-ready solutions, he prototypes end-to-end pipelines that translate optical flow, CNNs and multisensor fusion into actionable plant stress metrics for researchers and agronomists.
