Sebastien Wagner

Sebastien Wagner has a diverse work experience spanning multiple fields and industries. Sebastien began their career in 1996 as a Technical Assistant at the Institute of Sciences for Materials and Processes Engineering in France. In 1997, they worked as a Research Assistant at the School of Mechanical and Offshore Engineering in the UK, where they focused on grid generation methods for solving dispersion equations.

Sebastien then transitioned to the ELF Geoscience Research Centre in London, where they worked as an Algorithm Developer. Sebastien developed the CAROPT simulator for evaluating relative permeabilities in porous media, specifically applied to oil and gas reservoirs.

In 1998, Sebastien joined Hydraulic Research Wallingford as an Environmental Modelling Consultant. Sebastien'sresponsibilities included feasibility studies, environmental impact assessments, and developing numerical schemes for cooling water dispersion using the TELEMAC model.

From 2000 to 2004, Sebastien worked at the European Commission's Institute for Environment and Sustainability in Italy as a Scientist and Numerical Modeller. Sebastien focused on studying and developing methods of mesh embedding for multiscale modelling of atmospheric processes, with a specific focus on air quality modeling.

In 2004, Sebastien joined EUMETSAT as a Remote Sensing Scientist. Sebastien was responsible for calibrating and monitoring the reflective solar bands for the Meteosat imagers. Sebastien also worked on future missions, such as the Meteosat Third Generation, where they developed the detection chain model for the FCI instrument to monitor radiometric performance.

Sebastien had two periods of self-employment as a Consultant, one in instrument calibration in 2011 and the other in algorithm development from 2004 to 2010 at EUMETSAT. During this time, they developed the Land Daily Aerosol Product for the Meteosat Second Generation platforms and maintained various numerical codes.

Overall, Sebastien has a strong background in remote sensing, numerical modeling, algorithm development, and environmental impact assessment.

Sebastien Wagner began their education in 1992, attending Classes Preparatoires aux Grandes Ecoles - Serie M, where they focused on mathematics and physics. From 1995 to 1998, they studied at the Université de Toulon, earning an Ingenieur degree, which is equivalent to a Master of Science degree, in the fields of numerical modeling, applied mathematics, scientific computing, fluid mechanics, and signal treatment. Sebastien then pursued a Ph.D. from 2000 to 2003 at the University of Toulon - Var in France, specializing in mathematics, specifically numerical modeling, simulation, and physics applications. There is no information available about their educational background prior to 1992.
