Hi! I am Jérémie Boudreault, a Ph. D. candidate in data science and environmental health at the Water Earth and Environment Research Center of the National institute of scientific research (INRS) in Quebec City, Canada. Prior to my doctoral studies, I worked for several years as a research scientist in climate risk modelling in the industry.

My research interests are related to modelling climate change impacts, such as extreme heat and flooding, on people and ecosystems using advanced data science methods. My current and past research projects are available here.
