“Tuomo Kauranne, President of Arbonaut was at Université Jean Monnet Saint-Etienne to participate in the last session of the 2023 PSRS industrial days in Saint-Etienne. The PSRS students learnt how photonics and programming create knowledge and understanding to help inventorying forests, assessing ecological risks, and managing forest operations.”
Warmest thanks to Tuomo for his nice presentation and the interesting discussions!

The third session of the PSRS industrial days in Saint-Etienne highlighted Clara Spetebroodt, founder of the startup Plas’tri and a graduate of Institut d’Optique Graduate School in 2019, who demonstrated how photonics and AI could be used to design easy-to-use and reliable tools for sorting plastics.
Mohammad Moazam, a graduate of the EMJMD PSRS in 2022 working at Stellantis, showcased how AI combined with photonic and acoustic sensors could assist in driving and make cars safer. A step toward the autonomous cars that could open the way to more car sharing.
They also shared their experience with the students, as young entrepreneur working for a cleaner world, or professional in industry. Our warm thanks to them for their inspiring talks.
