Introduction
My current work focuses on the use of Mars' remote sensing data through Deep Learning algorithms.
My PhD was dedicated to the study of active surface slope processes on Mars, and estimation of uncertainties on primary topographical parameters (slope, orientation) derived from digital elevation models vertical errors.

Digital Elevation Models (DEM) are widely used in planetary sciences, including for the specific case of Mars. DEMs allow us to extract topography parameters necessary in geomorphological studies. However, DEMs are not free from vertical errors, which yields uncertainties in calculations of parameters such as local slopes. In addition, slope maps c...
Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL) are dark linear recurrent features which incrementally lengthen and fade each year on Martian slopes. Their activity during warmest seasons rises the question of modern martian water related process. To investigate this question, this study focuses on the thermal context of slopes hosting RSL. The paper presents a numer...
The European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos ExoMars mission will launch the "Rosalind Franklin" rover in 2022 for a landing on Mars in 2023.The goals of the mission are to search for signs of past and present life on Mars, investigate the water/geochemical environment as a function of depth in the shallow subsurface, and characterize the surface...
Araneiforms, or “Spiders” (spider-like surface modifications) are suggested to form through basal sublimation of a seasonal translucent CO2 ice slab layer and subsequent gas jetting, and are so far only known to occur in the Martian south polar region. Their spatial configuration characteristics remain incompletely understood. We observe a non-rand...
The Nili Fossae region of Mars exhibits from remote sensing spectral data the largest exposures of olivine-rich materials on the planet. However, it is not clearly constrained how and when these terrains formed. Some of the proposed scenarios favor a mode of formation closely related to Isidis impact basin: either under intense effusive volcanism f...
Pedogenesis has been previously proposed on the plateaus around Coprates Chasma, Valles Marineris to explain the presence of widespread clay sequences with Al-clays and possible hydrated silica over Fe/Mg-clays on the surface of the plateaus (Le Deit et al., 2012; Carter et al., 2015). We use previous observations together with new MRO targeted obs...
