Thibaut Cantaluppi

I was ranked 8th out of 15 recieved candidates at the Agrégation and 1st amongst 27 laureates at the CAPET.

I followed the cursus in Computer Science engineering and teaching. The main topics I worked on were:

• General Industrial Engineering
• Computer Science Engineering
• Teaching

I followed the cursus in Computer Science with a minor in Models and Algorithms for Decision-making. My extracurricular activities were mainly for the:

• Robotics club (of which I was president)
• Informatics and networking student association
• Humanitarian student office

I studied in preparatory classes for 2 years to prepare the entrance contest for engineering schools. My main study topics were:

• Mathematics
• Physics
• Mechanics
• Electronics

I prepared and taught classes for students in first, second and fourth year of middle school. The main topics were the very basics of mechanics, programming, civil engineering and project management.

I tutored classes of Master 1 students in computer science for their practical work in development of Human-Machine Interfaces with Java and on the best practices in object-oriented development. The libraries used were JavaFX and Swing.

I wrote a State of the art on Combined Task and Motion Planning and worked for the ANR project Prog4Yu. For this project, I worked on the ABB collaborative robot Yumi to develop a remote-control REST API for the robot using RWS. I also worked on developing and integrating an automated planning module to the robot architecture.

Courses followed:

• Multi-objective optimisation
• Computational intelligence (Fuzzy Logic, Machine Learning, Neural Networks)
• Formal Language Theory

Projects:

• Research project: Design and development of an on-the-fly speech-to-speech translation program in Python powered by IBM’s Watson
• Group project: Design and realisation of an intelligent walking stick

My internship was in the research laboratory of the BRE Trust Center for Sustainable Engineering attached to Cardiff University. I designed REST APIs with Swagger (OpenAPI specification) to create, train and run energy models. I also deployed those APIs on the cluster. Additionally, I did Backend Development with Python Flask for the European project PENTAGON

I did a 3-month internship in the research laboratory of the BRE Trust Center for Sustainable Engineering attached to Cardiff University. My work consisted in the creation and management of noSQL time-series databases (KairosDB on Cassandra) as well as the Frontend and Backend development of a web application for real-time 3D models and graphs visualisation.
