Thierry Artières is a University Professor at Aix-Marseille University, primarily affiliated with École Centrale Marseille (ECM), where he holds multiple leadership positions including Head of the Computer Science teaching unit, Head of the IAAA course of the Computer Science Master's degree, and Head of the IAM course of the 3rd year Computer Science option. He is a key member of the QARMA (Machine Learning) research team within the LIS (Laboratoire d'Informatique et Systèmes) and collaborates with several research institutes including the READ laboratory, Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone (INT), and the ILCB (Institute of Language, Communication and the Brain). His research interests span Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Artificial Intelligence with applications to neuroscience, medical imaging, and computational biology. His work focuses on understanding brain representations of voice and sound, optimizing MRI acquisition through deep learning, and developing novel machine learning techniques for multi-label classification and generative modeling. He has supervised numerous PhD students including Loris Berthelot, Hamed Benazha, Malek Senoussi, Swetali Nimje, and Charly Lamothe. His recent publications reveal a strong focus on applying deep learning to neuroscience problems, particularly in understanding how the brain processes sound and voice. His work combines theoretical machine learning advances with practical applications in medical imaging and cognitive neuroscience, often through collaborations between computer science and neuroscience laboratories. His research demonstrates a consistent trend toward interdisciplinary work that bridges AI with biological and medical domains. Member of QARMA Machine Learning team at LIS Collaborator with Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone Involved with ILCB Institute (Institute of Language, Communication and the Brain) Supervisor of multiple PhD students and Master's interns Regularly posts about internship opportunities in Machine Learning and AI Professor Artières actively mentors students through PhD positions, Master's internships, and engineering student projects. He has secured funding for multiple research projects, including ANR-funded collaborations with neuroscience institutes. His lab regularly offers 5-6 month internships on cutting-edge topics in machine learning, and he has facilitated numerous research opportunities for students interested in AI and data science careers. He also contributes to understanding the French job market for AI and data science professionals.
