The PhD Seminars of Inria Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée
The PhD Seminars of Inria Center At Université Côte d'Azur are organized and held by the PhD candidates of the STIC and SFA Doctoral Schools.
Their aim is to allow the participants to share their knowledge, and to promote collaborations, all in a friendly and interactive way. They are mainly addressed to and conducted by PhD students; however, postdocs, engineers and interns are more than welcome to participate to the talks.
If you are a PhD student or a post-doc, an engineer, or even an intern, we happily invite you to attend. You will most probably gain knowledge, maybe find solutions to unsolved problems, definitely learn more about other research fields, and don't forget that you will communicate with people, earn ECT credits, and more!
Seminars are organized every other Monday at 14:00 and they usually take place at the Euler Violet room of Inria Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée.
See you there!
PhD Seminar – 4 December 2025
Scientific talk by Frank de Veld (McTao)Control methods for low-thrust satellite collision avoidance Abstract: Due to a rapid increase in the number satellites and space debris objects in near-Earth space, it is now commonplace for satellites to perform collision avoidance manoeuvres within their day-to-day operations. As many satellites are equipped…
PhD Seminar – 21 November 2025
Scientific talk by Nicolás Violante (GraphDeco)Splat and Replace: 3D Reconstruction with Repetitive Elements Abstract: We leverage repetitive elements in 3D scenes to improve novel view synthesis. Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have greatly improved novel view synthesis but renderings of unseen and occluded parts remain low-quality…
PhD Seminar – 14 November 2025
Scientific talk by Elie Thellier (Team Epione)Breaking the Loop: Understanding and Preventing Data Exfiltration in Medical Data Lakes Abstract: Data lakes have become central to developing high-performing medical AI models by aggregating diverse and sensitive clinical datasets at scale. However, this centralized learning paradigm exposes new privacy vulnerabilities: adversaries can…
PhD Seminar – 19 May 2025
Scientific talk by Benjamin Böbel (Macbes)Keeping Track of Daytime: Insights into the Internal Circadian System Abstract: Circadian clocks are biological regulatory networks on the cell level that exist in most organisms on earth. These regulatory networks are able to produce rhythmic outputs due to negative feedback loops. The circadian clock…
