Charles Ollion is a data scientist and engineering leader with 11 years of experience who co-founded NAIA Science and now serves as its CTO, building numerical tools for pollution and biodiversity assessment. He combines deep learning research (PhD-level training in stochastic optimization) with practical product delivery from prior CTO roles and independent consulting, including contributions to environmental projects like Plastic Origins. An experienced educator, he taught M2 deep learning courses and authored widely-used lectures and labs on CNNs, RNNs and anomaly detection for Institut Polytechnique de Paris. Charles bridges academia and industry through hybrid deep learning research at CMAP and hands-on engineering, and maintains an active open-source footprint that aids reproducible ML education.
