PhD Candidate in Artificial Intelligence · R&D Software Engineer at Impact · Orléans, France
Orléans, France
I’m a PhD candidate in Artificial Intelligence and an R&D software engineer at Impact, a software company based in Orléans that builds crisis-management and operations-conduct solutions for the Defense and Security sectors. Its flagship product, Delta Suite, is used operationally by the French Special Operations Command (COS) and combines a geographic information system with messaging, communications, and sensor-management capabilities.
My CIFRE thesis, IMPERNIAM (Inférence par Modèles Profonds Efficaces pour la Reconstruction et la Navigation en Intérieur sur Appareil Mobile), focuses on prior-free building recognition for mobile, offline use — the kind of environment found aboard ships, which act as Faraday cages, cut off from external communication. I’m supervised by Dr. Aladine Chetouani (PRISME Lab, Université d’Orléans), Dr. Aurélien Chateigner (Impact), and Dr. Vincent Nguyen (LIFO, Université d’Orléans).
Before starting the PhD, I worked at Impact as an Android developer and R&D engineer, building mobile video and mapping features for Delta Suite. I hold a Master’s in Mobile, Intelligent and Secure Computing (IMIS) and a Bachelor’s in Computer Science from Université d’Orléans, both completed top of my class.
I stay curious about technology well beyond my day job — self-hosting, systems, and mobile development included. Feel free to reach out by email or LinkedIn.
