My research activities deal with the analysis of measurements of atmospheric radiation made from space by various instruments including infrared and microwave vertical sounders. A particular focus of my studies concerns the monitoring of trace gases, such as CO2, and related variables, such as fire emissions, in order to improve our understanding of carbon sources and sinks at the surface. Towards this goal, I am also involved in the development of new estimation methods using data from various origins (satellites, aircrafts, towers) and different kinds of models (atmosphere, land, and fire). I participate to the design of new space missions, such as the new generation of hyperspectral sounders (IASI-NG of CNES), as well as the active mission Merlin and the passive SWIR mission Microcarb.
