At HydroSciences Montpellier, I collected, validated and consolidated sewer network data from municipal utilities and partners. I reconstructed missing network topology using graph-based methods, validated the work on the Montpellier Métropole network, and published it in Water.

I also designed PostgreSQL/PostGIS geodatabases and built a data access framework for querying integrated utility data, published in Digital Water. I developed a multilingual sewer network data dictionary and produced maps and analyses using QGIS, ArcGIS, Python and SQL.
