Thomas Deneux is a researcher working at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Neurobiology at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). He completed his PhD in AI at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, followed by postdoctoral research in Neurobiology. He now leads the Data Analysis team at the Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience. His main scientific contributions lie in developing new methods for analyzing neurobiological data, applied across a wide range of neural activity acquisition techniques—including fMRI and EEG in humans, as well as optical recording and two-photon microscopy in rodents. More recently, his research has shifted toward Science Education, where he has created innovative approaches to teaching Artificial Intelligence and fostering students’ meta-cognitive skills. Thomas Deneux is also an entrepreneur: he founded the company Learning Robots, which markets the "AlphAI" kit to teach AI through educational robots and intuitive visualizations of AI algorithms.
