The Strategic Committee is the decision-making body of the DataIA Institute, responsible for validating the scientific and strategic orientations proposed by the Executive Committee and the Program Committee. It is made up of seven members, representing Université Paris-Saclay and three national research organizations.
Bertrand Thirion is a researcher in the Mind team, attached to the Inria Saclay research institute, which develops statistics and machine learning techniques for brain imaging. He contributes to both algorithms and software, with a particular interest in functional neuroimaging applications. He is involved in Neurospin, the CEA neuroimaging center, one of the leading high-field MRI centers for brain imaging.
François Terrier is a research director at the CEA and a CEA senior fellow for artificial intelligence. He is a program director at List (CEA's Institute for Intelligent Digital Systems). After a doctorate in artificial intelligence and research in the field of expert systems, he pursued research on software engineering and trusted systems. As head of the software and systems engineering department, he developed these activities in partnership with industrialists.
Pascal Massart obtained his doctorate in statistics in 1987 under the supervision of Jean Bretagnolle with a thesis entitled "Some problems of convergence speed for empirical processes". He has been a professor at the University of Paris-Sud (now Paris-Saclay University) since 1990. He has been director of the Jacques Hadamard Mathematical Foundation (FMJH) since 2019.
Philippe Maître is Deputy President for Research Strategy at ENS Paris-Saclay. He oversees research activities in the School's various laboratories and institutes. He initiates multidisciplinary research projects and liaises with research organizations and the governing ministry.
Étienne Augé, Deputy Vice-President for Open Science, is Professor Emeritus at the University of Paris-Saclay, formerly Vice-President for Research at the University of Paris-Sud, Vice-Dean for Training at the Faculty of Science, and Vice-President of the Faculty's Physics Department.
Paul-Henry Cournède graduated from Centrale Paris (class of 97) and Cambridge University (Master of Advanced Study in Mathematics). He then completed a thesis in applied mathematics between the CEA and Centrale Paris, a post-doctorate at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis, and became a teacher-researcher at the school in 2002. Today, he is a Professor in the Mathematics Department and, since 2016, head of the MICS laboratory.
Olivier Serre graduated from ENS Cachan. He then completed a PhD in computer science at Université Paris-Diderot, a post-doctorate at RWTH Aachen, before becoming a researcher at CNRS. He is currently CNRS research director at the Institut de Recherche en Informatique Fondamentale (IRIF) in the automata and applications team. Since September 2021, he has also been Deputy Scientific Director at the CNRS Computer Science Institute.
