The final HESAM University of My Thesis in 180 Seconds took place on Thursday, March 23, 2023, in the Grand Amphitheater of the Arts et Métiers campus. Arts et Métiers in Paris.
My thesis in 180 seconds allows doctoral students to present their research topic, in French and in simple terms, to a diverse audience of non-specialists. Each student has three minutes to give a clear, concise, and convincing presentation on their research project. All with the support of a single slide!
This spotlight on young researchers allows them to develop their communication skills and showcases the dynamism of French research.
Five Arts et Métiers doctoral students Arts et Métiers in the 2023 edition:
- Charlotte Dubosc (LAMPA, Angers): Interdependence of visual and behavioral consistency for the acceptance of virtual characters in immersive virtual environments (Simon Richir)
In virtual reality, especially in collaborative settings, the more realistic a character is, the more we appreciate it, up to a breaking point where the behavior is not credible enough in relation to the appearance.
The objective of Charlotte's thesis is to test more or less realistic character appearances with varying degrees of animation and thus formulate recommendations for integrating characters that are fully accepted by users. - Capucine Fritsch (IBHGC, Paris): experimental approach to personalized optimization of manual wheelchair settings (Christophe Sauret)
Capucine wants to develop a protocol to identify the best configuration of a manual wheelchair for a given athlete in order to maximize their performance according to their expectations and sport and minimize the risk of injury. - Santiago Montoya Zapata (LISPEN, Lille): optimizing the overall performance of intelligent systems in a multi-agent environment (Olivier Gibaru)
This Cifre thesis, carried out with Renault, aims to optimize the current logistics process in order to adapt it to the increasing customization of vehicles. - Koffi Koulekpa (LaBoMaP, Cluny): Machining with supercriticalCO2 assistance: experimental studies and numerical simulations (Gérard Poulachon)
Koffi is studying the conditions for maximum efficiency in the use of supercriticalCO2 in machining. - Yacine Sehimi (L2EP, Lille): Designing a vehicle-to-vehicle fast charging network and infrastructure based on a fleet of shared vehicles (Benoit Robyns)
Yacine wants to recover unused energy from car-sharing vehicles and design a suitable power supply network.
Discover the winners of the 2023 edition of #MT180:

- Colette Casimir (CNAM), who received the second Jury Prize,
- Capucine Fritsch ( Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Paris) won the Audience Award.
I liked the idea behind this competition and I learned tips on how to speak in public and structure my speech, says Koffi Samuel Koulekpa.
