Dr Manon Prédhumeau

Profile

Since September 2024, I am an Associate Professor at Toulouse Capitole University and IRIT (SMAC research group), in France. I am also a Visiting Research Fellow at the School of Geography, University of Leeds, UK, since September 2023 (after working there for a year and a half), and a member of the Mobility Science Lab.

I received the M.S. degree in computer science from Clermont Auvergne University, France, and an engineer degree in computer science from ISIMA, Clermont-Ferrand, France, in 2017. From 2017 to 2018, I have been a Software Engineer with the INRAE IT System Department. From 2018 to 2021, I completed my PhD in Computer Science at Grenoble Alps University, France. I was part of the STeamer research team in Grenoble Informatics Laboratory. I worked on modelling and simulating realistic pedestrian behaviours in shared spaces with autonomous vehicles, with Julie Dugdale and Anne Spalanzani, as part of the HIANIC project. My thesis received the Academic Thesis Award 2022 from Grenoble Alps University for the field "Mathematics, Information and Communication Sciences".

My research interest includes agent-based modelling and simulation of human behaviour, applied to urban mobility and future transportation.
