I'm Nathan Chanez, a PhD candidate and R&D engineer in Artificial Intelligence at STMicroelectronics and Université Grenoble-Alpes. I design and optimize deep learning architectures (PyTorch) and scale training on HPC clusters, exploring Graph Neural Networks and surrogate models. I also implement robust validation pipelines and model performance monitoring, contribute to internal patent filings, and mentor interns and new hires while promoting Python development best practices. I'm passionate about turning research into deployable AI solutions, collaborating across teams, and sharing knowledge through scientific communication at AEET2025 and ICPECA2026. In my free time, I enjoy refining my Python tooling, exploring new ML methods, and helping others grow.
