Alexandre is a Data Scientist who specializes in underwater acoustic recognition based on artificial intelligence. He works at Naval Group’s Centre of Excellence for Information Human factors and Signature Management (CEMIS). He designs artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to identify sounds that a submarine can hear underwater.
