Roland Arsenault
Before joining the Center in 2000, Roland Arsenault received his bachelor's degree in computer science and worked as a research assistant with the Human Computer Interaction Lab in the Department of Computer Science at the University of New Brunswick in Canada.
As a member of the Data Visualization Research Lab for many years, Arsenault combined his expertise in interactive 3D graphics with his experience in working with various mapping-related technologies to help provide a unique perspective on some of the challenges undertaken at the Center.
With the Center’s addition of Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs), Arsenault has become the ASV lab’s chief software engineer—developing a cross-platform, ocean mapping-focused framework for the Center’s ASV fleet.
