I have never lost my fascination with how computing power gives you the ability to not only ‘travel’ the world but ‘reshape’ it according to a vision – through analysing and integrating different data. As a geomatics specialist, I have the opportunity to do a lot of work in the field, and this also brings knowledge, discoveries and encounters, which I find it very rewarding to share through teaching and scientific meetings.
In his free time, Nicolas enjoys football, fishing and cinema as well as making good use of practical skills in DIY.
