Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYann Chemin is a hyperspectral applications leader and planetary scientist with 19 years of international experience applying remote sensing, GIS and hydrology to agriculture, disaster resilience and new-space technologies. As Hyperspectral Applications Head at ORUS he leads cross-sector projects translating satellite and airborne spectral data into operational insights, building on roles at the European Commission where he edited the MARS bulletin and reported to G20/AMIS. His career spans academic research, field-deployed DIY weather stations, and startup product work—turning complex geospatial science into practical tools for farmers, policymakers and financiers. He holds a Doctor of Science in Remote Sensing and an Executive MBA in Security, Defence and Space, blending deep technical expertise with strategic and policy-level experience. Comfortable teaching and building capacity across cultures, he has repeatedly implemented open-source GIS solutions and high-throughput image-processing pipelines in large, real-world datasets. A not-obvious strength is his track record of bridging academic research and operational deployments—from river-level estimation and evapotranspiration modelling to microcredit-enabled agricultural analytics.
