« My thesis in 3 minutes “, this oratorical jousting competition was one of the highlights of the Orange Open Tech Days, who presented on November 28, 29 and 30 all of the Group’s latest innovations around cybersecurity, connectivity, customer experience and network functionalities. Because it is an opportunity to promote the scientific research of more than 130 doctoral students and post-doctoral students from Orange who represent part of the future of telecoms but also to develop their skills in public speaking and scientific popularization, the competition was particularly anticipated once again this year.

8 finalists, 3 winners

Following a call for applications, eight finalists were selected to pitch their thesis in less than three minutes, in a simple and concise manner in front of a jury of five experts chaired by Jean Bolot, Research Director of the Orange Group. .

Improving mobile networks and rethinking interfaces between telecoms players

A prize was awarded to Meroua Messaoui who works at Orange Innovation in Caen. His thesis porteporte on new methods of collaboration and cooperation between network operators mobilesmobiles. « It aims to exploit decentralized technologies such as blockchain to redefine the interfaces between telecoms players, whether traditional or emergingemergingin order to unite them within decentralized consortiums. »

Reduce the impact of digital

The jury also awarded a prize for the thesis of Thibault Simon, who comes from Orange Innovation in RennesRennes. His thesis seeks to reduce the impact of digital technology, which represents 2 to 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, by proposing “ developers of tools and methods to understand the environmental footprint of their software, and new eco-design levers so that they can contribute, on their scale, to the impact of the sector ».

Low latency application diagnostic solutions

The public prize was awarded via a partnership with Futura, to Joël Roman Ky after more than 3,400 votes recorded online. PhD student at Orange Innovation in Lannion, he develops artificial intelligence algorithms to effectively manage applicationsapplications video games. “ The long-term benefit of this work is to allow not only to play well, but also to allow operators like Orange to prepare their networks for the future. vaguevague of low latency applications that are coming, including cloud gaming and virtual realityvirtual reality in the cloud “, he specifies.

« Let’s say you decide to sign up for a cloud gaming subscription. It’s like NetflixNetflix but for video games. It’s an idea that allows you to play games without having to spend a fortune on buying a PCPC super powerful. However, when you start playing, you will very quickly realize that your game “freezes”, or even disconnects. Believe me it’s very frustrating. In my thesis, I therefore try to attack this problem which is mainly due to the inefficiency of networks, in particular 5G5G or Wi-FiWi-Fi, to effectively manage this type of so-called “low latency” applications. For this, I develop algorithmsartificial intelligenceartificial intelligence who would be able to detect the problems that affect you and, moreover, find their cause », he adds.
