Thomas Plocoste is Professor of Physical Sciences and Geosciences, specializing in tropical atmospheric and environmental sciences. He is the Founder and President of KaruSphère, a private research laboratory recognized as a Research Unit by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR). His research focuses on tropical geosciences, including Saharan dust transport, air pollution, climate variability, hydroclimatic extremes, and atmosphere–land interactions in tropical and island environments. His work combines complex systems physics, nonlinear dynamics, stochastic processes, fractal and multifractal analysis, and artificial intelligence, including machine learning and deep learning applied to multi-source environmental data. He is also President of Airannov, a DeepTech company developing AI-powered atmospheric intelligence solutions for climate-sensitive sectors. He leads international collaborative projects on environmental monitoring, climate resilience, renewable energy, and decision-support systems, bridging scientific research and technological innovation.
