This year, 23 alumni and one teacher-researcher from the Computer Science department have been named members of the Institut Universitaire de France, for a 5-year term starting October 1, 2025, representing 12% of those appointed. This is a wonderful recognition for each and every one of them, and for our school. We offer them our warmest congratulations.
Among the 100 junior members, Francesco Bronzino is a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and a researcher at LIP. His work focuses on exploiting emerging technologies to design software systems for measuring and improving the performance of network services. He is particularly interested in developing methods that link cutting-edge concepts in network systems and measurements with data science and machine learning applied to network inference.
Of the 94 new junior members of the Fundamental Chair, 13 alumni have also been appointed, from a wide variety of disciplines.
The winner of the Junior Innovation Chair is also an alumnus, a geographer, who received the Prix Jeunes chercheurs de la Ville de Lyon in 2016: Emeline Comby.
Among senior members, the success rate is also very high, with 9 alumni appointed, including one of our former teacher-researchers in the Department of Literature and Arts, Elise Domenach, now Professor of Film Studies at the École nationale supérieure Louis Lumière.
Teachers-researchers appointed to the IUF continue to work at their own institutions, and are given two-thirds of their teaching time off to carry out their research.
