he Strategic Committee is the decision-making body of the DATAIA Paris-Saclay Institute, responsible for validating the scientific and strategic orientations proposed by the Executive Committee and the Program Committee. It is made up of six members, representing the University of Paris-Saclay and three national research organizations:
Jean-Yves Berthou holds a doctorate in computer science and is an academic with a research background in simulation and high-performance scientific computing. He spent around ten years working for public research organizations and almost twenty years in industry, mainly in R&D at EDF.
Jean-Noël Patillon is a graduate of the Supélec engineering school and holds a PhD in solid state physics from the Solid State Physics Laboratory at the University of Paris XI. From 1984 to 1996, he joined LEP (Laboratoire d'Electronique Philips), becoming head of the Optoelectronics group. In 1996, he joined Motorola Labs Paris and headed the “Broadband System and Technology” and “Molecular Electronics Research” laboratories, addressing the fields of short-range systems (WLAN, WPAN) and heterogeneous networks, cognitive radio and SDR.
A specialist in data science and machine learning, Nicolas Vayatis heads up a research group developing work in predictive modeling and algorithms, network science and signal processing, in constant interface with industry and the biomedical field.
Paul-Henry Cournède graduated from Centrale Paris (class of 97) and Cambridge University (Master of Advanced Study in Mathematics). He then completed a thesis in applied mathematics between the CEA and Centrale Paris, a post-doctorate at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis, and became a teacher-researcher at the school in 2002. Today, he is a Professor in the Mathematics Department and, since 2016, head of the MICS laboratory.
Olivier Serre graduated from ENS Cachan. He then completed a PhD in computer science at Université Paris-Diderot, a post-doctorate at RWTH Aachen, before becoming a researcher at CNRS. He is currently CNRS research director at the Institut de Recherche en Informatique Fondamentale (IRIF) in the automata and applications team. Since September 2021, he has also been Deputy Scientific Director at the CNRS Computer Science Institute.
