Magistère Electrical Engineering, Université Paris-Sud
Tifenn is now a permanent researcher at CEA, LETI, Grenoble.
Maxence Ernoult (also at UMR CNRS/Thales)
Maxence received his predoctoral education at Ecole Polytechnique. His PhD, cosupervised by Julie Grollier at UMR CNRS/Thales, investigated theoretically local learning rules for neuromorphic systems. His equilibrium propagation work was a collaboration with the group of Yoshua Bengio at MILA, Montreal.
Maxence is now a research scientist at Rain AI.
Bogdan Penkovsky
Bogan, after a PhD at FEMTO-ST, Université de Franche-Comté, was a postdoc with us, where he investigated the use of our neuromorphic designs for medical applications.
Bogdan is now an R&D Project Manager at Alysophil.
Damir Vodenicarevic
Damir received his predoctoral education at Magistère Physique, Univ. Paris-Sud and did his PhD with us. He worked on neuromorphic computation schemes involving nanooscilators.
Damir is now the CTO of the Massa Labs startup company.
Christopher H. Bennett
Chris received a Master from Stanford University, USA and Erasmus Mundus Master of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (Chalmers/Leuven), and did his PhD with Prof. Jacques-Olivier Klein and me. He worked on the use of memristive devices as artificial synapses.
Chris is now a research scientist at Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, USA.
Joseph S. Friedman
Joe graduated the PhD from Northwestern University, USA and was a postdoc with us for 2 years. He worked on the stochastic computation of Bayesian inference, and on stochastic nanodevices.
Adrien F. Vincent
Adrien received the M. S. from ENS Cachan and his PhD with his. He developed the concept of stochastic synapse based on magnetic tunnel junction.
After a postdoc at the University of California Santa Barbara, USA, Adrien is now Associate Professor at the University of Bordeaux.
Alice Mizrahi
Alice received the M. S. from Cambridge University UK, and did her PhD with us. She worked on bioinspired computing with spintronics. Her work was co-advised with Julie Grollier at the UMR CNRS/Thales.
After a postdoc at NIST, Gaithersburg, USA, Alice is now a permanent researcher at Thales Research and Technology.
Nicolas Locatelli
Nicolas did his PhD at the UMR CNRS/Thales lab and was a postdoc with us for three years. He worked on the design of systems exploiting spintronic and memristive nanodevices, and which behave reliably despite the nanodevices being unreliable.
Nicolas is now a tenured undergraduate physics teacher in Cachan, France.
