Arnaud Dion

Arnaud Dion is an Associate Professor at ISAE-SUPAERO (Institut Supérieur de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace), the French Aerospace Engineering Institute, since 2022. Previously, he worked as a research engineer at ISAE from 2004 to 2022. He obtained his PhD from ISAE in 2014. His academic work is centered in the Engineering for Critical Systems (DISC) department, specifically within the Critical Systems Analysis and Design (CASC) research team.

Dr. Dion's research interests span multiple domains in aerospace engineering and computing systems:

• Embedded Systems design and implementation
• Electronic architecture design for aerospace applications
• Hardware-software co-design methodologies
• Satellite navigation algorithms and systems
• Real-time operational systems
• Quantum computing applications in engineering

His recent work shows a significant expansion into quantum computing, where he has gained hands-on experience with the Q# programming language to explore quantum algorithms and their potential applications. This represents a strategic extension of his established aerospace engineering expertise toward cutting-edge computational approaches that could transform aerospace system design.

Dr. Dion has secured research funding from prestigious organizations including the European Space Agency (ESA), French Space Agency (CNES), French Armament Agency (DGA), and regional bodies like Occitanie. His projects address critical challenges in aerospace systems, navigation technologies, and secure communications.

As an educator, he heads the Advanced Master on Embedded Systems program and teaches across multiple degree programs, covering topics from fundamental digital design to emerging quantum computing applications. His teaching spans both theoretical concepts and practical implementation in aerospace contexts.
