Activities
After several years of experiences in the field of scientific computing applied to various domains such as planetary sciences and oil industry, I joined Cirad in 2016 as a research engineer in computing sciences.
While providing support to researchers working with the Maespa ecophysiology model, I promote at Cirad a management of research softwares allowing the reproductibility of results (in the frame of Open Science) based on Gitlab software repository.
Since May 2023, I am involved in AÏDA research unit for the implementation of the PERSYST modelling platform.
My current activites focus on three axis :
1 – Cirad software repository project management (https://gitlab.cirad.fr)
- Initiation of a pre-project working group for ressources demand
- Coordination of the project tasks and comities management
- Policy of the software projects in the repository
- Oganization and set up of trainings
- Set up of a Cirad software community and management of a support network in research units
2 – Animator of the Open Science service for Eco&Sols unit
- Promoting FAIR principles applied to data and softwares
- Support to dataset publications in Cirad, INRAE and IRD Dataverse platforms
- Dataset review before publishing (metadata, licensing, etc .)
3 – Management and developement of the Maespa ecophysiology model (https://eco-sols.gitlab.cirad.fr/maespa)
- Management of the software project Maespa (https://gitlab.cirad.fr/eco-sols/maespa) and its website
- Policy of a developement workflow, CI/CD tests and deployment
- Developement of vizualisation scripts with R markdown
- Time and memory optimization, porting on HPC platforms
- Add of scientific features
