Congratulations to Léonard Imbert, a contract researcher on the MIOPS team, who won second prize for best poster at the AI4X-Accelerate 2026 international conference in Singapore!

This award recognizes a collaborative effort led by IMN members: David Berthebaud, a CNRS researcher; Olivier Hernandez, a professor at the University of Nantes; Romain Gautier, a CNRS researcher; Christopher L. Hassam, a contract researcher; and David Portehault, a CNRS researcher at the LCMCP.

This conference brought together more than 800 researchers, doctoral students, and industry professionals from various disciplines to discuss AI.

In recent years, the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and autonomous driving have seen rapid progress. Scientists’ ability to combine human creativity and rigor with the computational power and tools of AI has led to an unprecedented acceleration in research efforts and findings.

The symposium was jointly organized by the Institute for Intelligent Functional Materials (I-FIM) atthe National University of Singapore and the Acceleration Consortium atthe University of Toronto.
