Arnaud Knippel

Arnaud Knippel is a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Engineering at INSA. He has been responsible for internships in the GM department since 2015 and is a member of the GM Department Council. His research focuses on network design and dimensioning using mathematical programming and graph theory, with applications in telecommunications, transport, logistics, electricity, physics, and chemistry. He also explores the intersection of Operations Research (RO), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Data Science, particularly in partitioning/classification problems and subgraph isomorphism for pattern recognition.

Knippel has coordinated major research projects such as XTerM (2016-2019, as INSA’s scientific coordinator) and Fractal Grid (2016-2019), both funded by ANR and FEDER. He contributed to CLASSE2 (2016-2018) and PLURADYS (2015), a health-focused classification project. His doctoral supervision includes Zacharie Ales (co-advised with LITIS & C. Gout), S. Benhida (co-supervised with ENSA Agadir), and I. Khames (with JG Caputo).

His research interests emphasize theoretical and applied aspects of graph theory, optimization, and AI. Projects like XTerM and Fractal Grid highlight his work on network oscillations and electrical grid design, respectively. Despite no explicit mention of scientific awards, his extensive publication record and project involvement underscore his academic contributions.
