Career profile
I work in the Magnetic Observatories department of the Institute de physique du globe de Paris. This service is one of the components of the Bureau Central de Magnétisme Terrestre (BCMT), which is a National Observation Service (SNO) of the ANO-4 of the CNRS-INSU. As IT manager of the National Magnetic Observatory, my main mission is to ensure the operational functioning, the integrity and the development of the information system of the Magnetic Observatories of the IPGP. This system processes and distributes data from a dozen observatories around the world.
In addition, I am the manager of the Paris' "Geomagnetic Information Node" (GIN) , which is one of the five data collection centres of the international network of magnetic observatories Intermagnet.
For two years my missions have been redirected towards data management, due to the strong involvement of the BCMT in the "Solid Eart Pole" projects, at national level via Form@ter, and European level via EPOS.
Projects
My two main missions are: system administration and data management
Experiences
