Olivier LÉVÊQUE
I'm a researcher at ONERA – The French Aerospace Lab – in the Electromagnetism and Radar Department. I am working on the analysis of remote sensing images, with a focus on SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images.
Last Experiences

2018 – 2022 Early-stage Researcher @ Institut d'Optique Graduate School Charles Fabry Laboratory
2016 (4 months) Research Assistant @ École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne Laboratory of Movement Analysis and Measurement
Education
2018 – 2022 Université Paris-Saclay PhD in Applied Physics 🏆 Accessit to the 2023 Graduate School of Engineering and Systems Science thesis prize
2014 – 2018 École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay MSc in Control, Signal & Image Processing MSc in Electrical Engineering 🏆 Lauréat de l'Agrégation de Sciences Industrielles
