Hi! PARIS Engineering Team

The team work together with our professors and researchers to produce open-source and reproducible code and to bridge the gap between research and industrial applications, preparing for transition of technologies from academia to real-world applications and driving technology transfer.

The Hi! PARIS Engineering Team is made up of engineers specializing in Data and artificial intelligence. This initiative is intended to bring added value to researchers in the development of their project.

  • Support the development of research projects.
  • Promotion of reproducible research.
  • Support teaching programs (Hackathon, Data Bootcamp…).
  • Bring ad hoc expertise to research teams.
  • Maintain and deploy a data factory (a development platform).
  • Provide the necessary technical resources.
  • Promote the work of researchers.
  • Capitalize on research projects.
  • Encourage collaborations between schools in order to deepen research by mutualizing resources.
