Responsible for the characterization and calibration of hyperspectral cameras to be used in precision agriculture. The activities can be grouped as follows
Hyperspectral camera calibration:
- Development of innovative methods aiming at the calibration of hyperspectral cameras. Patent: Multichromatic calibration method and devices, WO 2019/064195
- Development (PoC, prototyping) of new calibration devices and their steering through (embedded) software
- Setup of automated calibration QA reporting pipeline
- Setup of automated data processing pipeline
- Supervision of interns and newcomers
- Involvement in roadmaps building

2021-...: Mechanics/physics teacher at the Haute Ecole d'Ingénierie de l'arc Jurassien (HE-ARC ). I teach mostly in Neuchâtel but also in Delémont
