Dr. Gautier's research focuses on innovative approaches to visualize complex spatio-temporal data across multiple domains. His expertise spans meteorological data visualization, epidemiological data visualization, 2D/3D geovisualization techniques, and exploratory data analysis of spatio-temporal phenomena. He has developed specialized methods for identifying cyclic patterns in time-series data, visualizing uncertainty in ensemble forecasting systems, and creating interactive visualization environments for domain experts in urban planning, public health, and emergency response. Analysis of Dr. Gautier's publication record reveals a consistent focus on developing visualization techniques that bridge theoretical advances with practical applications. His work spans urban climate analysis, pandemic response (particularly during COVID-19), and mountain rescue operations. A distinctive aspect of his research is the integration of harmonic analysis with visual exploration to identify cyclic patterns in spatio-temporal data, as demonstrated in his GrAPHiST framework. Dr. Gautier has been actively involved in several significant research projects including ORACLES (focusing on ensemble forecasts of marine submersion), Urclim (aiming to develop integrated Urban Climate Services), and Choucas (an interdisciplinary project to assist mountain rescue operations).
