Denis Lemaître

French naval academy professor , PHD and HDR in social sciences

Specialist in the training and professionalization of engineers. Some of his researchwor k is about innovation processes. In the NAIADE chair, he contributes its expertise to the analysis of French navy people’s professional activities and cultures, about sociotechnical systems and relationship between humans in highly technical environments.

Cyril Ray

Lecturer in computer science at the Institut de Recherche de l'Ecole Navale (IRENav)

Cyril Ray

Lecturer in computer science at the Institut de Recherche de l'Ecole Navale (IRENav)

He holds a PhD from the University of Rennes 1 for research on the modeling and design of distributed simulations for transportation systems. He carried out post-doctoral research at INRIA on the design of a Java operating system for mobile devices. Cyril Ray is a teacher in the computer science teaching department at the French navy academy.

His current research focuses on the modeling and design of location-based services applied to human mobility and to maritime and urban transport systems. Cyril Ray is active in research in to the processing and analysis of maritime data subject to veracity problems. In this context, heis a member of the naval cyberdefense chair, of the CNRS MAGIS GDR working groups on uncertainty and analysis of weak signals in geographic data, a member of the NATO IST 141 working group on visual analysis of cyber information, and a member of the monitoring committee for the ARTEMIS Programme d’Etudes Amont (PEA) run by the French Navy and the DGA. He led the ANR DéAIS project (falsification of maritime identification systems) funded by the ANR and DGA, and also took part in the European CISE DMS (datamining services for the EU’s CISE infrastructure) and H2020 Datacron (Big Data Analytics for Time Critical Mobility Fore casting) projects on mass processing of maritime data.

Gilles Coppin

Professor at IMT Atlantique (Brest, France) and researcher in the Lab-STICC laboratory (UMR CNRS 6285)

Graduated from ENST Bretagne (now IMT Atlantique) in 1984, and having worked for 15 years in Maritime Patrol and Surveillance at Thales, he obtained his doctorate from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in 1999 and his habilitation to direct research in 2007 from the University of Paris 6. For over 10 years, he was the French representative on various NATO HFM working groups dealing with cooperation between operators and intelligent agents.
His main areas of interest are human-machine cooperation, human decision models and decision support, and human-system interactions in general, including the use of mixed reality and innovative technologies.

Leo Facca

Associate Professor in cognitive and social psychology

Leo Facca

Associate Professor in cognitive and social psychology

His research focuses on the cognition of individuals in complex social situations. As part of NAIADE chair, he studies social interactions between humans and artificial intelligence within ultra-connected socio-technical systems.

Romain Billot

Professor of Data Science at IMT Atlantique, head of the DECIDE team (UMR CNRS 6285 Lab-STICC)

He leads research in data mining and optimization, with applications in complexsystemssuch as intelligent mobility and connectedhealth. Romain Billot is in charge of teachingstatistics and machine learning (data science course).
Beforejoining ITM Atlantique, hespent five years at LICIT (IFSTTAR/ENTPE) at Gustave Eiffel University as a researchfellow (CR1) for the French Ministry of Ecology, after a year’s post-doctorate at Queensland University of Technology (Australia).

Romain Billot is a graduate of Ecole Centrale Paris (PhD, 2010) and UTC (computer engineering, 2007).
