Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCyrille Favreau is a scientific visualization and high-performance software engineer with 11+ years building GPU-accelerated, massively parallel systems for research and production, now developing AI-powered real-time demos at NVIDIA. He created and led Brayns, a hardware-agnostic real-time ray-tracer that scaled to supercomputers and 40MP immersive rendering, and authored Sol-R, an open-source CUDA/OpenCL real-time ray-tracer used in interactive molecular visualization. Comfortable from low-level C/C++/CUDA kernels to large modular architectures and cloud deployments, he repeatedly bridges research, engineering and creative teams to turn complex science into compelling interactive media. His work at Blue Brain contributed directly to COVID-19 research visualizations and a machine-generated study on glucose-COVID19 links, showing an uncommon blend of technical depth and scientific impact. Bilingual in French and English, he pairs rigorous engineering with artistic pursuits—performing as a drummer at Montreux and practicing improvisational acting—which informs his strong emphasis on storytelling through visualization.
