Bonjour, voici mon #introduction !

Agrégé de physique et docteur en planétologie, je suis enseignant de physique-chimie et d'informatique au lycée St Paul à Vannes #BZH
Passionné par le traitement d'images, j'assemble les photos prises par nos émissaires robotiques sur Mars.

I'm a #PhD in #PlanetaryScience and #Physics, #Chemistry and #ComputerScience teacher at St Paul high school in Vannes, France.
I love processing images taken by #Mars rovers like the one below.
