Hello! I am Jérémie Boudreault, a PhD student-researcher at the National institute of scientific research of Quebec (INRS), and a lecturer at Laval University.
My research focuses on modelling the health, economic and environmental impacts of climate hazards such as extreme heat and flooding. To that end, I leverage both novel statistical models and AI/machine learning approaches. Prior to my PhD, I worked for several years as a research scientist in climate risk modelling. My current and past projects are available here.
🚨 Hiring: We are currently looking for students to join our team to pursue a master’s degree (M. Sc.) in climate-health or data science. More information available below:
