Dr Didier Leibovici’s expertise is in geospatial data science and analytics; after 15 years of research in leading UK universities (Oxford, Leeds, Nottingham, Sheffield), 5 years at IRD (France), 2 years at Sanofi-Recherche (France) and 4 years at INSERM (France), working within interdisciplinary and international context for European research programmes with UK, France, LMIC (in Africa and South-Asia), he has set up GeotRYcs, a geo-spatial-temporal data scientist consulting service. Didier has a PhD in Biostatistics and a Master’s degree in computing-science; his scientific production in data analysis and geospatial science are on spatiotemporal data modelling and analysis within different contexts, such as epidemiology, agriculture and agro-ecological monitoring, dynamics in population studies, location-based citizen crowdsourcing of environmental information within interdisciplinary projects. Didier’s interests are also in challenging the potential of interoperability developments to manage cross-domains scientific models involving geospatial data from heterogeneous sources, their metadata information to qualify the scientific workflow and including attached uncertainty, part of the data science and analytics.
