Very pleased to announce that the Televolve project, submitted to the ANR 2026 call, has been accepted! See the official ANR selection notification.

The project explores how LLMs coupled with evolutionary coding agents can advance research in telecommunications. More to come soon.

Associate Professor

I am an Associate Professor at IMT Atlantique (formerly Telecom Bretagne), one of the top French technical universities, located in Brest, France. I am also affiliated with the Lab-STICC research laboratory, where I currently lead the CODES team. I am interested in channel coding: how to make our digital communication and storage systems more resilient to errors and failures. I am also working on digital signal processing algorithms to enable emerging space optical communication systems. Over the past few years, I have developed a strong interest in deep learning and its applications to communications systems. More recently, I have been exploring how AI, LLMs and agents in particular, can be leveraged to accelerate research and transform engineering education.

We’re always looking forward to working with motivated students and researchers. Please check out regularly the Lab-STICC and IMT Atlantique job offers for new PhD and post-doctoral opportunities in our team, or feel free to send me an email.
