Carole Belliardo received a Ph.D. in Interaction, Biology and Ecology from Université Côte d'Azur in 2022. Her dissertation focused on the study of horizontal gene transfers in phytoparasitic nematodes through the exploitation of soil metagenomes.

After her Ph.D., she completed a postdoctoral fellowship funded by the France 2030 Priority Research Project (PePR) "Plant Microbiome and ICT," comparing different sequencing technologies for studying soil microbial communities. Her research in evolutionary and comparative genomics required the analysis of large datasets and the use of high-performance computing (HPC).

In June 2024, Carole joined the Center of Modeling, Simulation, and Interactions (MSI) as an expert engineer in high-performance computing, numerical simulation, and data science

Mohammed Bouziane obtained a Master's degree in Mathematics of Modeling from Sorbonne University in 2020, followed by a Master’s degree in Modeling and High-Performance Computing from ENS Paris-Saclay in 2021. His training focused on simulation methods for solving major modeling challenges, as well as software strategies for exploiting various computing architectures.

After his studies, he began his career with an internship at ANSYS, where he gained valuable experience in simulation data compression. He then joined SUMMIT-Sorbonne as a research engineer, contributing to several projects, including a collaboration with Eau de Paris to calibrate hydraulic models.

In July 2024, Mohammed joined the Center of Modeling, Simulation and Interactions de la Simulation (MSI) as a research engineer in the fields of numerical simulation, HPC, and data science.

Stéphanie Lopez obtained her engineering degree in Applied Mathematics from Polytech Nice in 2013, and her Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2017, as part of the ANR VISIIR project.

Passionate about health projects and innovation, Stéphanie initiated and has led the LungscreenAI project since 2018, which received IdEx and MSI funding. This project is based on a partnership between Université Côte d’Azur, the Nice University Hospital (CHU de Nice), and Therapixel. Stéphanie’s contributions include the proof of concept, securing funding, recruiting and managing a multidisciplinary team, and handling GDPR regulatory procedures in collaboration with the clinical research department of the CHU and the IT department.

Today, LungScreenAI is part of the DA Capo study at CHU de Nice and is in the process of commercialization. Since June 2024, Stéphanie has been providing her expertise to MSI to support AI health projects in valorizing their collected data.

Marco Milanesio earned his PhD in Computer Science at the University of Turin (Italy) in 2010, with a thesis on "Layering Multi-Purpose Applications over Structured and Dependable P2P Systems". During his PhD, he worked on the security aspects of distributed systems, their architectures and features.

From 2011 to 2017, he was research engineer at Eurecom in the "Network and Security" (until 2016) and "Data Science" departments, where he worked on several topics: network performance measurements, QoE / QoS, distributed storage, virtualization, time series analysis and forecasting.

He joined the MSI in September 2017.
