Daniel Le Corre

About

In 2017, Dan joined the University of Kent to study for an integrated MPhys in Astronomy, Space Science and Astrophysics, having always held a passion for space science. During this time, Dan also completed an internship and worked part-time as a Junior Data Scientist at Deimos Space UK, where he was training and evaluating deep learning models for Earth observation applications. Having thoroughly enjoyed both experiences, Dan returned to Kent in 2021 to pursue a PhD in Planetary Surface Feature Detection Using Artificial Intelligence, where he will be working with the company ACRI-ST in Grasse, France.

Research interests

In the final year of his MPhys, Dan completed a research project titled "Titan and Pluto's Moments in the Sun" which investigated the changes in the atmospheric conditions on Titan and Pluto as the Sun evolved into a red giant. This, combined with his current research of planetary and lunar surface feature detection, shows the interest that Dan holds in using computer vision and simulations to solve space science problems.
