Geoffrey is a robotics researcher at the Robotics & Autonomous Systems unit of the Department of Mechanics of the Belgian Royal Military Academy. His research focuses developing solutions for unmanned maritime systems.
He received his Master’s Degree in Mechatronics from the Université Libre de Bruxelles and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel in 2019. He then started a new position as a junior marine robotics engineer in 2020 for the Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee (VLIZ) where he focused on the deployment, operation and development of marine robotics solutions for the North Sea as well as data acquisition solutions for North-Est Greenland.
In 2025, Geoffrey joined the Belgian Royal Military Academy to participate in the Maiwa project that addresses the challenges of manoeuvering in waves through the development of two symbiotic aspects: the deployment of a USV equipped with advanced sensing technology; and the building of a corresponding virtual platform with sea conditions effect considered.
