Xavier Guchet

Xavier Guchet serves as Director of Costech (Centre de recherche sur les Technologies Innovantes) at Université de Technologie de Compiègne (UTC), where he also acts as Publication Director for Cahiers Costech, the laboratory's academic journal. His primary editorial responsibility is for the 'Philosophy of techniques' section, reflecting his research specialization.

His research interests focus on philosophy of techniques and technology, object-oriented philosophy, and the intersection of cognitive sciences with technological development. His work engages with contemporary philosophical discourse around technical artifacts and their relationship to human cognition and society. Guchet has participated in significant academic discussions, including a 2021 roundtable on Bernard Stiegler's concept of organology.

His publications demonstrate engagement with both theoretical philosophical questions about technical objects and practical applications in areas like sustainable engineering education and biobank ethics. The research shows a consistent thread connecting philosophical inquiry with real-world technological challenges, particularly in sustainability and medical innovation contexts.

As Costech Director, he oversees multiple research teams including CRED (Cognitive Research and Enactive Design), CRI (Complexity, Networks and Innovation), EPIN (Writing, Practices and Digital Interactions), and INTERACT (Innovation, Territory, Agriculture & Agroindustry, Knowledge and Technology).
