AI Training at Aérocampus

(04 July 2025)

The Aérocampus of Nouvelle Aquitaine is a training center for aeronautical technicians. It's a unique campus where industry plays a major role. Here, airplanes (including a Rafale) and helicopters of...


2025 Agrégation Jury

(23 June 2025)

Since 2022, France has finally established an external computer science agrégation. I remember my own computer science classes in middle school (on PCs with 5"1/4 floppy disks and MO5/TO7 machines)....


Does AI Still Belong to Digital Science ?

(03 June 2025)

I had the pleasure of opening the AI Day in Nouvelle Aquitaine, organized by AI in Nouvelle Aquitaine. For this occasion, I allowed myself to venture into areas close to...

Weekly Eco Interview on TV7

(20 February 2025)

Last Wednesday, I had the opportunity to answer questions from Stéphanie Lacazze, from Sud Ouest, as part of [Hebdo Éco](https://www.sudouest.fr/lachainetv7/economie/l-hebdo-eco/) on TV7. It’s a local TV channel belonging to the...

One of the ways to realize how AI permeates all areas of society is to measure the extent of its applications. I was happy to be the reviewer of Alexis Juven’s thesis (a former student of ENSEIRB-MATMECA) on, believe it or not, “Simulation-assisted machine learning for infrared measurement in a tokamak.”

This is a thesis using AI to monitor thermonuclear fusion at the heart of future reactors. Without going into details, the proposed work studies the possibility of deploying non-intrusive monitoring systems, based on machine learning for the interpretation of infrared images. These systems should allow measuring the internal temperature of the components of nuclear fusion reactors of the tokamak type (these are toroidal chambers with magnetic coils), which can reach thousands of degrees Celsius, based solely on fixed images from infrared cameras.

In addition to the pleasure of attending Alexis’s thesis, I was able to visit, on the Cadarache site, what a tokamak is and measure the engineering feat deployed to master this formidable energy.

Congratulations again Alexis for this work!
