Context

Telecom Paris and CentraleSupélec are French leading public institutions for engineering higher education (Grandes Ecoles) and scientific research, both founded in the 19th century. They are respectively part of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris and Université Paris-Saclay, both world-class scientific and technological institutions that embody the very best of what French higher education and research have to offer, recognized internationally for their level of excellence.

The ADASP group is hosted by the Information Processing and Communication Laboratory (LTCI), a Telecom Paris’ in-house research laboratory created in 1982. LTCI’s core subject areas are computer science, networks, data science, signal and image processing and digital communications. The laboratory is also active in issues related to systems engineering and applied mathematics.

The GPI team is hosted by the Laboratory of Signals and Systems (L2S, UMR 8506), a joint CNRS and CentraleSupélec laboratory created in 1974. Research at L2S focuses on fundamental and applied mathematical aspects of control theory, AI, data science, information, signal and image processing, communication, and network theory.
