As part of the LIRMM research support department since 2019, Paul Leloup puts his talent to work for his fellow researchers, as well as the laboratory’s doctoral students. “There are about fifteen engineers and technicians in the department, and we work with the 400 people employed at LIRMM. I specialize in embedded systems, so I work exclusively with the microelectronics department,” explains Paul, who is also co-manager of the microelectronics platform.
In the interview “Cogs: ‘The private sector couldn’t have offered me such diversity’,” Paul details several projects that represent the LIRMM spirit 🌱:
Carbon-neutral data center: mini data centers equipped with solar panels and batteries for a more sustainable infrastructure.
Help Wireless Messenger: a wireless system for people with reduced mobility, prioritizing reliability and autonomy.
SmartSnap: a sustainable fishing project combining electronics and artificial intelligence to limit bycatch.
PCHIT: a bioimpedance chip that, among other things, measures muscle fatigue to prevent injuries in high-level athletes.
For Paul, the public and academic sector—and particularly the LIRMM—offers a diversity of projects, applications, and fields, as well as the opportunity to pass on his knowledge to students via the platform and practical work.
