Natacha Kaminski has won the 2026 edition of the ‘My PhD Thesis from Space’ competition.
Natacha Kaminski, a second-year PhD student working on the CNES’s C2OMODO project, has won the 2026 edition of the “My PhD Thesis from Space” competition organised by the National Space Remote Sensing Programme (PNTS). The PNTS is coordinated by CNRS-Terre et Univers on behalf of CNES, IRD, Météo-France and the CNRS.
This year, the theme of the PNTS Day was ‘Environmental risks and hazards: monitoring and understanding via satellite’. It took place on 28 May 2026 at the University of Lille.
In just 180 seconds – not a second more (and in fact, in just 178 seconds!) – Natacha has managed to make her complex analyses accessible and engaging, combining radiative transfer, mesoscale storm models and cloud microphysics.
