While doing his PhD, Serge worked for Quartex Technologies as a GIS specialist for three years.

During that position, he mentored students, wrote book chapters and developed web applications.
Serge is particularly enthusiastic about applying programming skills to help address real-world issues.
I like coding for spatial and non-spatial data analyses. Programming helps me to find solutions to the problems of society.
When he’s not at work, Serge enjoys reading and as an enthusiastic animal and plant lover, another of his favourite pastimes is visiting botanical gardens and zoos with his family.
