Back to JRDA 2025

A new 2024-2029 agreement has just been signed by all the partners in the Groupement d'Intérêt Scientifique en Automatisation Intégrée et Systèmes Humain-Machine (GIS GRAISyHM). This GIS brings together all the automation, computer engineering and signal processing laboratories in the Hauts-de-France region. For several years now, one of GIS GRAISyHM's flagship events has been the organization, in partnership with the regional doctoral schools, of the Journée Régionale des Doctorants en Automatique (JRDA). For the second year running, it has joined forces with the Campus de la Mer research federation, a multidisciplinary collaborative research structure dedicated to the sea and coastline in the Hauts-de-France region.

This JRDA 2025 was organized by the Modélisation, Information & Systèmes (MIS) laboratory and the Laboratoire des Technologies Innovantes (LTI) at the Université de Picardie Jules Verne. It brought together seventy-eight participants.

A number of presentations were offered to participants to illustrate the day's theme of "Automatics and AI: Together for Innovation"

• Les règles à suivre pour devenir enseignent-chercheur (presentation by L. MACAIRE, director of the Ecole Doctorale Mathématiques-Sciences du numérique et de leurs interactions de l'Université de Lille and member of the Conseil National des Universités, section Automatique, Informatique Industrielle, Traitement du Signal).
• The rules for adding value to research by filing patents or creating start-ups (service provided by O. RAHMOUNI and S. GUZZO BONIFACIO from the Société d'Accélération du Transfert de Technologies du Nord).
• Les règles d'accompagnement à la création de start-up (service provided by C. PIAU from Innov'a, Booster d'Innovations)
• And finally, a conference on the contributions and limits of AI in the context of energy system automation (delivered by J. BOSCHE, director of MIS).

PhD students were given three hours in the program to present their research work in front of their poster.

A six-member evaluation committee, who were not co-authors of any posters, examined everyone's work in detail and selected four awards from the thirty-two posters.

Four prizes worth €200 each for the best poster were awarded. The winners are:

• Yehya SHARIF, (from the CRIStAL laboratory) with the poster "Integrated Design of SPARC Smart Wheelchair".
• Sarah El Hajj CHEHADE (from LISIC laboratory) with poster "Phase Coherence Change Detection via Circular Uniformity Test Applied to GNSS-Reflectometry"
• Jean-Valentin MERLEVEDE, (from LAMIH laboratory) with poster "Grades of Operational and Tactical Automation in rail domain for an Artificial Intelligence Driving Assistance System"
• Omaima SMOUNI, (from the MIS laboratory) with the poster "Robust control and optimized energy management of a charging station for electric vehicles: experimental validation"

The JRDA 2025 was funded by the TIFSID (Innovative Technology for a Solidary, Inclusive, and Sustainable Future) regional project of the Région Hauts-de-France and managed by the GIS GRAISyHM.

The organizers would like to thank the region for its support.
