Image CURRAN Allen ThermoAnalytics Inc., USA
ThermoAnalytics was founded by Keith Johnson along with Al Curran back in 1996 as a spin-off from Michigan Technological University. They had a singular mission then that remains at the core of the company’s driving principles today: to develop and deploy the most robust, intelligent and accurate thermal modeling technologies and methodologies in the world. Their vision was to become the leading total thermal solutions provider of software and services.

Image LATGER Jean OKTAL-SE, France
Synthetic Environment (OKTAL-SE) was created in 2001 by its Chief Executive Officer Jean LATGER as an emanation of the OKTAL company created in 1989. Today, OKTAL-SE is part of the SOGECLAIR Group located in Toulouse-France. The company is a human-sized structure that ensures a high reactivity and a customer focused attitude.

Image PUJOL Olivier Laboratory of atmospheric optics (LOA), Lille University, France
Olivier Pujol is a PhD researcher in Physics at the Lille University (laboratoire d'optique atmosphérique). His field of investigations covers a large domain, from the Physics of water vapor, clouds, and precipitation to wave scattering by complex media. After a PhD thesis at the University of Toulouse in 2006 on radar remote sensing of precipitating systems, he worked and collaborated four years with Thalès Airborne System enterprise where he developed six patented algorithms for radar airborne detection of hazardous precipitating system for civil aviation. He joined the University of Lille in 2007 where he is currently working on water vapor, cloud/aerosol interactions and light scattering by complex atmospheric particles and clouds. Olivier Pujol has also high-level teaching activities in Physics, in particular in the international Master 2 « Atmospheric Environment ». He has also supervised various Master degree internships and PhD thesis, and is co-author of several textbooks in Physics.
