Journées doctorant 2021

Welcome to the first edition of the “PhD Student day” for the Advanced Architectures and Compiler (AAC) department of IRISA. The event is scheduled to take place online on June 11th, 2021. You will find below a first draft of the program.

Program of the day

 

  • 9h00-9h10 : Welcome talk (Steven Derrien)
    • This talk is there just to make sure you understand why you are here, what is IRISA, and what’s the use of a computer architecture department.
  • 9h10-9h40 : What you need to know about the CNU (M. Gauthier/F. Coste)
    • The CNU is a national committe whose role (among others) is to deliver the “qualification aux fonctions de maître de conferences“, a certificate that is compulsory to apply as permanent Faculty in the French public academic system.
  • 9h45-10h20 : A day in the life of your advisors (I. Puaut, S. Filip)
    • Did you ever wonder what your advisors actually do when they are not meeting with you, or teaching? In those two talks, two permanent researchers from the department (Isabelle Puaut and Siliviu Filip) will shed the light on the many facets of the daily work of researchers and faculty. Isabelle is a professor at University of Rennes 1 since 2004, and is a member of the PACAP team. Silviu is an INRIA researcher since 2018, he is a member of the CAIRN Team.
  • 10h20-10h30 : Coffee ice-break with wonder.me
    • You will be allowed a break only if you agree to share a virtual coffee/tea/etc. with another random member of the department. Be prepared.
  • 10h30 – 11h10 : Quantum architectures: what’s inside the box (C. Collange)
    • Quantum computers no longer belong to science fiction. The first generation of universal quantum computers is now available for us to experiment. It opens new opportunities and new questions for the hardware design, computer architecture and compiler communities. We will have a peek at the main quantum computing technology at this time, superconducting qubits. We will also discuss some research directions opened by superconducting and other similar technologies.
  • 11h30-12h15 : How is it like when you have finished ? (A. Perais, F. Ait Aoudia)
    • In these talks, two former PhD student of the department (Arthur Perais, Fayçal Ait Aoudia) will share their PhD experience and discuss their career path. Arthur obtained his PhD at IRISA in the PACAP team in 2015. His has spent a few years in USA working at Qualcom and Microsoft. He is now permanent CNRS researcher at the TIMA laboratory in Grenoble. Fayçal obtained his PhD at IRISA in the GRANIT team in 2017, he is now research scientist at Nokia Bell Labs near Paris
  • 12h20 – 12h35 :  The Punchline Method (T. Yuki)
    • Unlike instructors in an oral exam or juries in a Master’s defense, the typical conference audience has no obligation to listen to your talk. If you are not able to attract their attention quickly enough, the chances are that they will not appreciate your talk, and will be less likely to read your paper. This talk is about an approach to give effective talks to such audience: give the key insight of your work – or why this talk might be interesting – as early as possible.
