SystemX just appointed its Scientific Board. Its role is to define and implement, in close collaboration with the management team, the scientific strategy of the IRT SystemX. Daniel Krob takes the position of Science and Technology Director and Nicolas Treves becomes his Deputy Director.
The role of the Scientific and Technological Board is to define and implement, in close collaboration with the management team, the scientific strategy the IRT SystemX. It will enable to, in support of the launching of R&D projects, identify and structure current scientific challenges and scientific responses to industrial problems. It will provide the Institute with scientific leadership in order to support and accompany its growth, scientifically speaking; and coordinate the relations with the IRT SystemX’s public research and higher education partners.
Daniel Krob’s background
Graduate of the Ecole Normale Supérieure, “agrégé” in mathematics (highest teaching level in France, obtained through an examination), doctor and empowered to supervise research in Computer Science, Daniel Krob, 53 years old, takes the head of the Scientific & Technological Board of the IRT SystemX. He is also a computer science Professor of the Ecole Polytechnique and President of the Center of Excellence In Architecture, Management and Economics of Systems (CESAMES –Centre d’Excellence Sur l’Architecture, le Management et l’Economie des Systèmes). Expert of international standing in many scientific fields, he is the author of over a hundred scientific publications and communications and 4 books. He has filed 3 patents in fundamental computer science, algebraic and enumerative combinatorics, mobile telecommunications algorithmic and systems engineering. He also piloted, from 2003 to 2014, the Dassault Aviation – DCNS – DGA – Thales “Complex Systems Engineering” Chair of the Ecole Polytechnique and has specialized himself in the field of architecture, modeling and design methods of complex systems. In February 2014, he notably became an INCOSE Fellow (International Council on Systems Engineering) – recognition awarded to researchers or professionals whose contribution to the theory or practice of complex systems engineering is particularly significant at the worldwide level. He is the only French person to be distinguished as such, and shares this recognition with only 66 experts the world over.
