Director of Research at CEA, François Terrier is in charge of the Artificial Intelligence program at CEA. After a PhD in AI and 10 years of R&D in the field, he conducted research on software engineering and trust systems. Author of more than 100 publications, he was CEA's representative in the network of excellence on real-time systems led by Joseph Sifakis, and a player in standardization on the subject with the OMG. Head of department from 2010 to 2020, he was in charge of developing activities in model-based engineering and formal methods, which led to the production of international open source platforms (Papyrus, Frama-C). As part of this mission, he supported the emergence of new activities in cyber-security and resilient distributed systems, including blockchain. With his dual background in AI and trust systems engineering, he has built up the CEA's artificial intelligence and trust axis, which he pilots and deploys in various projects such as confiance.ai and the European TAILOR network of excellence.
