Biography
Charlotte Langlais is a Study Director at the mathematical and electrical engineering (MEE) department of IMT Atlantique (former Télécom Bretagne since 2017). From 2002 to 2020 she was an associate professor in the same department. She received the Habilitation à Diriger des recherches (HDR) in 2021. She received her engineering degree and master degree from Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA) de Rennes in 1999. From 1999 to 2002, she worked with France Télécom R&D (currently Orange Labs) during her PhD funded by the CIFRE program. She received her PhD degree in Electronics from INSA de Rennes in 2002. She studied turbo-equalization adapted to wireless HF ionospheric transmission. She proposed to improve the transmission performance by combining turbo-demodulation
As a teacher, she is in charge of two courses in the domain of basics in digital electronics. To help to deal with students' heterogeneity, she applied a new way of teaching thanks to flipped classrooms. She has also participated in active learning since 2002 via project based learning. Since the beginning of the merging project with Mines Nantes, she has coordinated the group in charge of the definition of the curriculum for the project courses. Now she is in charge of the coordination of the "pôle Projets et SAR (Situation d'Apprentissage Riche)", whose role is to lead the community of teachers in charge of the different projects of the curriculum. She is also in charge of the projet Commande Entreprise of the 3rd semester, with more than 50 economic partners.
Her current research interests are in signal processing and digital communications and more specifically wireless communications, coding and modulation, MIMO systems, multi-user transmission and modelization of channel propagation and its impact on algorithms design.
The 12th International Symposium on Topics in Coding will take place in Brest ! More details here https://istc2023.org

Research projects
My PhD work was performed in an industrial context at France Telecom R&D (currently Orange Labs) thanks to a CIFRE convention. I have been aware of the importance of innovation and research in the industry world. Since my arrival at IMT Atlantique (former Telecom Bretagne), I have tried to keep a strong link with the industrials thanks to research contracts. Long term contracts are seeking to perform high quality research and innovation.
I have also participated to collaborative research projects that are listed here.
