Ronan Champagnat

Ronan Champagnat is an Associate Professor (Maître de Conférence HDR) at the University of La Rochelle's University Institute of Technology, Department of Computer Science, where he combines teaching in programming and software engineering with cutting-edge research in computational narrative systems and process analytics.

His research centers on Process Mining for extracting knowledge from event logs in crisis management and educational contexts, Interactive Narrative Control using Linear Logic and Petri Nets to enable user-adaptive storytelling in serious games, and IoT Data Protection through semantic firewalls for digital trust systems. His methodology integrates formal verification with practical applications in learning technologies and crisis response.

Champagnat's publication timeline (2010-2019) reveals an evolving focus from foundational narrative modeling to applied process mining in education and crisis management, consistently leveraging formal methods to solve real-world problems in human-computer interaction and data security.

He actively shapes national education policy as Secretary of the National Pedagogical Commission for DUT Computer Science and DUT Statistics & Decisional Informatics, driving curriculum development across French technical institutes while maintaining strong industry collaborations in serious game development and educational technology.
