Odile Hembise Fanton d’Andon is a French environmental researcher, and co-founder and CEO of the company ACRI-ST, which leads an International consortium of independent organizations working together to better understand and monitor the Earth's environment. Fanton d’Andon was the recipient of the Irène Joliot-Curie Prize in the category "Women, Research and Enterprise" in 2021 for her work.
Life and work
Fanton d'Andon earned a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics from the University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis, a DEA from the Ecole des Mines de Paris, and a Doctorate from Sorbonne University (Paris VI).[1]
The work of Fanton d'Andon has focused on methods and products derived from combinations of satellite observation, atmospheric chemistry and climatology. She co-founded the French company ACRI in 1989 to create a way to bring together experts in the fields of mathematics, physics and fluid dynamics and collectively gain a better understanding of the Earth's environment. The company specializes in remote sensing from space, transforming the collected data transmitted by satellites into information, and integrating that knowledge in research using the processing and interpretation tools developed by the company.[2] [3] [4]
In 2000, she co-founded and became CEO of ACRI-ST, the operating company of ACRI. ACRI-ST leads an international group of eight independent organizations in seven countries, which combine the talents of their 150 researchers and engineers. The operational companies secure, improve and deliver quality data and insights for understanding climate change, the environment and the universe to make informed decisions.
