Award & nomination

André Seznec Receives the 2025 ACM-IEEE CS Eckert-Mauchly Award This prize is in recognition of his work and for his extensive impact on computing, most notably pioneering contributions to branch prediction and cache memories. Seznec’s inventions can be found in billions of CPUs worldwide. These include the TAGE branch predictor and skewed-associative cache. In fact, Seznec’s work has served as a [..]

Charlotte Pelletier, associate professor in computer science at UBS's Faculty of Engineering Sciences and member of the OBELIX research team, has just been named a junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France's Fundamental Chair. A prestigious distinction and a boost for her research. His current field of study? The Brazilian Amazon rainforest. But from above. From very, very high up. A [..]

Congratulations to Maximilian Mehl Congratulations to Maximilian Mehl , Inria PhD in the Rainbow research team, who has received the Best Paper Award in the AI & Robotics track at the European Robotics Forum (ERF) 2025, held in Stuttgart 20 25-27 of march. for the paper entitled ‘ Model-Based Reinforcement Learning for Robust End-to-End UAV Control from Simulation to Real System Application’ by [..]

Do we study an archaeological artifact differently in VR and in reality? The work carried out as part of Maxime Dumonteil's thesis in the HYBRID team - in collaboration with the archaeology laboratory of the Université Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne, Trajectoires - studies the differences in behavior when carrying out a task in archaeology, between real and virtual environments. Experimentation carried [..]
