Jihanne El Haouari—who defended her thesis at TéSA in November 2025 on “Spectrometer Calibration via Sparse Inverse Problem Solving for Atmospheric Sounding” (co-funded by CNES and Thales Alenia Space)—received the Prize from the Academy of Sciences, Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres of Toulouse on June 14th. Congratulations to her and to the entire supervision team: her thesis advisors Jean-Yves Tourneret and Herwig Wendt (IRIT), as well as Christelle Pittet (CNES) and Jean-Michel Gaucel (Thales Alenia Space) 🙂

Thanks to a session led by Toulouse Tech Transfer (TTT), TéSA PhD students spent a day exploring how to commercialize their thesis research by starting a company. The day’s agenda included an introduction to intellectual property, an overview of the entrepreneurial landscape in France, and a practical exercise: a three-minute pitch designed to win over (virtual) investors.

Following an R&T study with CNES, Philippe Paimblanc, a research engineer at TéSA, was invited to present his results on satellite swarm localization at the event organized by CNES’s COMET PDS. A great opportunity for TéSA to showcase its expertise!

Esa Ollila, professor within the Department of Information and Communication Enginering at Aalto University, Finland has been invited in TéSA to spend one month with us. This was the opportunity for him to give a talk on Fast Covariance Learning algorithms for Sparse Bayesian Learning, Thanks Esa for this nice talk!
