Prof. Bernard Tychon is an agronomist with a PhD in Environmental Sciences. He is a Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Management of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Liege. Since 2017, he has also been the director of the SPHERES Research Unit, which includes 140 researchers. For more than 25 years, he has been leading a research group in the field of Agrometeorology. Topics studied in his group concern the relationship between agriculture and the physical environment. More specifically, the main activities are related to the needs and requirements of water, radiation, and the temperature of crops and their associated diseases, at different latitudes, to predict the levels of agricultural production. In addition to the international training he has conducted on these tools, Dr. Tychon recently created a spin-off company in precision farming. He is a lecturer in agrometeorology, data processing and modeling, remote sensing and geographic information systems, and diffuse pollution. He has published more than 250 scientific papers (books, research reports, conference proceedings, and national and international scientific journals).
