Julien Michel received the Telecommunications Engineer degree from the École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Bretagne, Brest, France, in 2006, and defended his Ph.D. in 2026. He is currently with the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (French Space Agency), Université de Toulouse, Toulouse, France, where he is working as a research engineer on remote sensing image processing at the Centre d’Etudes Spatiales de la Biosphère (CESBIO). He is also currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree with the Centre d’Etudes Spatiales de la Biosphère (CESBIO), Université de Toulouse, Toulouse. His main research topic focuses on the fusion of heterogeneous Satellite Image Time Series (SITS) so as to enhance their spatial and temporal resolutions. His wider research interests include image processing and machine learning for remote sensing data.
