A LOOK AT SOFIANE'S BACKGROUND

Sofiane Vernet has graduated from Télécom Saint-Etienne engineering school in 2022, with a specialisation in Image and computer science. He did his master's thesis researching colour vision at the University of Chiba which led him to start a PhD at the Hubert Curien Laboratory and join the LUMAUS project.
 

SOFIANE'S MOTIVATION FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

The most interesting part of researching a subject for me, is the constant need for creativity and innovative ideas in order to address an issue. Moreover, working with emerging technologies is really inspiring. Finding solutions through trial and error is a great source of motivation.
My research project in particular is centred around helping low-vision people in their everyday lives by using lighting. Lighting has multiple advantages such as practicality or availability. Also, research in lighting is inherently multidisciplinary and needs many different skills in order to be successful.
