About Me

Clément Cherblanc

I am a PhD student at the Danish Meteorological Institute. I study the Surface Mass Balance (SMB) of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, I try to improve and fasten the computation of SMB using neural networks. I also enjoy mountaineering, twisty puzzles and editing videos about my passions. I see my future revolving around applications of Machine Learning and Data Science on important scientific problems in the realms of Cryospheric, Meteorological or Climate Change studies. Welcome to my site!

My Career Highlights

PhD at the Danish Meteorological Institute and Niels Bohr Institute

Contributing to the PRECISE project

Aug. 2024 - Aug. 2027
PhD

Master's Degree at the University of Montana

Spatio-Temporal Variability of the Snowmelt Onset using Machine Learning Methods; under the supervision of Dr. Joel T. Harper. This work involves modeling and Machine Learning methods applied to large geospatial datasets.

Sep. 2022 - May 2024
Master's student

Chronopost

I contributed to the safe and fast transportation of goods and secured goods as a sorting agent and driver.

Sep. 2018 - May 2021
Sorting agent

Universite Savoie Mont Blanc

I completed a Bachelor's Degree in Physics (2016-2019) and in Engineering-oriented Geosciences (2019-2022).

Sep. 2016 - May 2022
Undegraduate student

World Cube Association

I have contributed to the expansion of the World Cube Association since 2015. I organized over 50 competitions in 15 countries (5 continents); I was a WCA Competition Announcement Team member (Nov. 2018 - Jun. 2020); and I have been a Junior Delegate since Dec. 2022.

Nov. 2015 - now

My Skills

My Achievements

"ON THE FIRN" science vulgarisation movie

Dr. Joel T. Harper and Dr. Neil go the Greenland Ice Sheet every summer with students. I joined twice and created this movie that describes the process of getting there, living and carrying out our science in the harsh environment.

Greenland Ice Sheet research presentation (in French)

I presented the logistic and science to students and professors at the Universite Savoie Mont Blanc (in French, automatic subtitles available).

Poster presentation at AGU 2023

During AGU Fall 2023 Meeting in San Francisco, I presented my methodology and recent findings on the spatio-temporal variability of snowmelt onset.

Oral presentation at Snow Hydrology 2024

At the 4th International Meeting on Snow Hydrology in Grenoble, France, I presented my results on the tipping point in snow ripening and predictions of the spring activation.

World Cube Association involvement

I have organized over 50 competitions, 10 of them where in completely new communities, in new countries. Those communities are mostly thriving today. My work has contributed to the WCA Spirit and Objectives of more competitions with more fun and under fair and inclusive conditions.


My Projects

PhD program

My ongoing PhD is part of the PRECISE project. I work on improving the estimates of surface mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from regional climate models using neural networks.

Youtube video-making

I frequently upload new videos of speedcubing, skiing, research, mountaineering and running.

WCA Delegate and Results Team member

Being a World Cube Association Junior Delegate for Montana, USA, I am consistently working to provide frequent, high-quality, welcoming and inclusive speedcubing competitions.
