Cédric Rommel is a research scientist based in Paris with a decade of experience applying deep learning to neuroscience, neural interfaces and autonomous driving. Currently at Meta working on AI for neural interfaces, he brings a rare mix of academic rigor (PhD from École Polytechnique) and product-focused research from roles at Valeo and startups like Ava where he led AI strategy and shipped real-time speech systems used by hundreds of thousands. His research has emphasized learning data-driven invariances and optimal augmentations to make models less data-hungry—work that translated to practical advances in sleep stage classification and brain-computer interfaces. An active open-source contributor, he has contributed models and refactors to braindecode, a notable library for decoding EEG/ECG/MEG signals. Comfortable moving between research, engineering and team leadership, he has a track record of turning novel ML ideas into production-ready systems. Colleagues describe him as someone who bridges neuroscience insight and engineering pragmatism to accelerate applied AI.
