Focus on Claire Mathieu: a committed scientist, who has resigned from the Presidential Science Council

Claire Mathieu, chercheuse en informatique et en mathématiques sur la conception et l'analyse d'algorithmes au CNRS à l’IRIF, a obtenu de nombreuses marques reconnaissance dans le monde académique, par sa nomination à la Chaire annuelle Informatique et sciences numériques du Collège de France de 2017 à 2018, suivie de la médaille d'argent du CNRS en 2019. Elle a participé à la conception des algorithmes de Parcoursup. En décembre 2019, elle intègre l'Académie des Sciences, dans la section des sciences mécaniques et informatiques, puis obtient le titre de Fellow de l'EATCS en 2023 pour ses contributions fondamentales aux algorithmes d'approximation, aux algorithmes en ligne et à la théorie des enchères. En 2020, elle est faite Chevalière de la Légion d'honneur. Et fin 2023, elle est retenue pour intégrer le Conseil Présidentiel de la Science. Retour sur une participation éclair mais non pas moins remarquée.
