Young Researcher Prize for Rafael Pinot

Rafael Pinot is a recipient of the 2021 Prix Jeune Chercheur (Young Researcher Prize) from the Dauphine Foundation. This prize is awarded every year to the top PhD graduates in Dauphine (see here for a formal description in French).

Rafael defended his PhD thesis on December 12, 2020. He was co-supervised by Jamal Atif and Florian Yger at MILES, as well as Cédric Gouy-Pailler at CEA-LIST. Rafael is now a postdoctoral researcher at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, but we are happy to welcome him back on June 28 as he visits Dauphine to receive his prize. Congratulations!
