Life at the LRDE

At the LRDE, we are a small community where teaching staff and students share all the lab's facilities. A meeting room and a library offer some space for relaxation, common lunch and casual interactions between all the lab members. Students, interns, PhD students all have their own desks with computers, just as the researchers, either in common offices or right next door. This closeness generates discussions between people and stimulates research.

Alumni

In the last 15 years, over 100 EPITA students have shared this working atmosphere at the LRDE and have graduated from EPITA with a real research experience. Indeed a unique feature of the LRDE is education by research: we offer to a handful of EPITA students to integrate the research community right from the first year of the engineering cycle. This work situated between teaching and research generates pre-doctoral students.

Many of the students have done their final internship at research labs in France or abroad. Almost half of them have continued with a Master's degree (M2 research), about a quarter of our alumni hold their PhD degree and some of them are currently PhD students.

CSI seminars

The research conducted by LRDE students (CSI) is publicly presented. The attendance is free, open to anyone, and requires no subscription.
