Department Presentation
The Computer Science Department consists of 15 research teams, including one that is jointly affiliated with the Robotics Department. It brings together around 110 permanent researchers and approximately 70 Ph.D. students, 25 post-doctoral researchers, and 15 engineers.
The department’s research covers a wide range of topics in computer science, including theoretical computer science, data science, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, image analysis, and software engineering. These scientific areas contribute to applications in biology and life sciences, healthcare, agriculture, ecology, biodiversity, and the human and social sciences.
The department maintains strong partnerships with a wide array of socio-economic actors, including hospitals, start-ups, SMEs, and multinational companies at the local, regional, and international levels.
Members of the department are actively engaged in national and international scientific communities and networks, particularly within the CNRS research groups (GDR).
