About the author</H1 ><P >I was born in 1973 in the little town of <A HREF="http://www.ville-mont-saint-aignan.fr/" TARGET="_top" >Mont St. Aignan</A > near <A HREF="http://www.rouentourisme.com/" TARGET="_top" >Rouen</A > in <A HREF="http://www.normandy-tourism.org/" TARGET="_top" >Normandie</A > (France). I grow up in the south of Ile-de-France (region near Paris) surrounded by wheat and corn fields :-) and a sugar factory where I used to walk in it, smelling and eating sugar.</P ><P >Always attracted by sciences and particularly geology, I got a degree (BA) of Geophysic/Geochemistry and try to get the next degree but fall back to another direction : computer science. I got my master of computer science applied to geosciences in 1998 at <A HREF="http://www.upmc.fr" TARGET="_top" >Paris</A >.</P ><P >I got my first job at <A HREF="http://www.eurocontrol.int/eec/public/subsite_homepage/homepage.html" TARGET="_top" >Eurocontrol</A > and it changes a lot my life. Even if I worked for Schlumberger for 6 months (big oil service company), I now work for 6 years for a little french company (<A HREF="http://www.neometsys.fr/" TARGET="_top" >Neometsys</A >) in aeronautic.</P ><P ></P ><UL ><LI ><P ><EM >Home Page</EM >: <A HREF="http://nemoworld.info/" TARGET="_top" >http://nemoworld.info/</A ></P ></LI ><LI ><P ><EM >Email</EM >: <TT CLASS="email" ><<A HREF="mailto:nicolas.dufour@nemoworld.info" >nicolas.dufour@nemoworld.info</A >></TT ></P ></LI ></UL ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="NAVFOOTER" ><HR ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="100%"><TABLE SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="x750.html" ACCESSKEY="P" >Prev</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="index.html" ACCESSKEY="H" >Home</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="a778.html" ACCESSKEY="N" >Next</A ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" >Open-Aero.org</TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" > </TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" >Used acronyms</TD ></TR ></TABLE ></DIV ></BODY ></HTML >
