Outreach

I have been trying to do a few things to bring my research out-of-the-lab.

Afterwork: Tech Made Simple

I am the initiator and co-organisor with the British Council in Paris of the Tech Made Simple afterwork events.

The goal of Tech Made Simple is, well, to make tech simple - in an informal setting. The events are hosted at the British Council in Paris. Each session starts with a talk delivered by an expert in a tech topic, who is also a former student of a UK university. The talk is then followed by a networking time over drinks and nibbles. The events are open to anyone interested in emerging and evolving technologies, wishing to maintain ties with the UK, practise their English, or just spend an enjoyable evening.

For a glimpse at what it is, you can check my (very informal) interview.

Fête de la Science

We have been participating with my team for two years in the French national science week (Fête de la Science) at Ecole nationale des ponts et chaussees.

In 2024, we presented the PRIMO game, a board game that we designed to discuss the challenges of personal data collection in the smartphone applications that we commonly use to plan our mobility. This year, we will be talking about the Internet. Check the program!
