At the heart of information & communication technologies and sciences
Telecom ParisTech’s teaching is delivered in a high-level scientific environment. Telecom ParisTech’s research activities cover both the fundamental aspects of top-quality upstream research and applied research carried out in close collaboration with the socio-economic sector.
205 professors and 350 PHD students work in four research departments along with associate researchers within a combined research unit of the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research): the LTCI (Laboratoire Traitement et Communication de l'Information – Information Processing and Communication Laboratory).
Forming a bridge between "components", "communications" and "services", this department encompasses all of the technological vectors of multimedia information. It creates an interface between the latest algorithmic concepts, cutting-edge optical technologies and electronics with a view to transporting and processing information via upstream techniques.
45 researchers and professors belong to the Comelec department and form six research groups:
This department covers all of the information technology fields corresponding to the study of infrastructures, systems and digital networks. The department’s research activities take place at the point where the boundaries between telecommunications, information technology and audiovisual technology merge, against a backdrop of the emergence of the information, knowledge, communication and computing society.
The Infres department consists of 54 researchers and professors divided into four groups:
Our studies and research focus on information and communication technologies relating to different sociological, linguistic, ergonomic, cognitive, economic and management issues. This primarily involves analyzing how individuals, consumers, institutions, markets, hierarchies, groups, teams and communities interact with ICT. This research focuses on the uses of these technologies, intellectual technologies and digital organizations, as well as on the digital economy and its regulation.
The SES department’s team is organized into fout research groups:
- Economics and Management (ECOGE)
- Human and Social Sciences (SHS)
- Digital Economy, Interaction, Exchange and Information Society (DEIXIS-Sophia)
- Ergonomic Psychology and Language Science (PESL)
We study images in all of their forms: digital, optical, etc., for a variety of applications: medical, satellite technology, artistic, etc. The study of speech, sound and problems relating to the coding and transmission of these different types of communication are our main research topics.
The TSI Department consists of four groups:
