Jonathan Sauder

Jonathan Sauder is a Researcher and Doctoral Assistant at EPFL, affiliated with the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) and the Institute of Infrastructure and Environment (IIE). He is part of two laboratories: the Computational Science Laboratory for Environment and Earth Observation (ECEO) in Sion and the Biogeochemistry Laboratory (LGB) in Lausanne. His research focuses on environmental science, computational methods applied to coral reef ecosystems, deep learning, and signal processing. He is enrolled in the doctoral program in Civil and Environmental Engineering at EPFL.

His work bridges environmental science and artificial intelligence, with notable contributions to coral reef monitoring using 3D mapping, semantic segmentation of benthic environments, and self-supervised learning techniques for underwater imaging. He has also explored structured sparse matrices in signal recovery and neural-augmented algorithms for iterative processes.

His research locations include EPFL Valais Wallis (Sion) and the EPFL main campus in Lausanne, with labs located at ALP 2 011 (Sion) and GR C2 524 (Lausanne). He collaborates with interdisciplinary teams in environmental engineering and computational science.

Professional activities include membership in the EDOC doctoral school (EDCE) and engagement in international conferences. His research themes emphasize scalable solutions for environmental monitoring and advancing deep learning applications in geoscience and marine biology.
