Senior🎓
Top SchoolFlorent Laroche is a doctor-engineer and assistant professor at Ecole Centrale Nantes who blends industrial engineering with cultural heritage to make historical technical knowledge usable for contemporary innovation. As Vice-President for Professional Education at Nantes Université and former director of a product-and-systems engineering department, he bridges academic leadership, curriculum development, and applied research. His work spans knowledge management, PLM, enterprise and information-system modeling, virtual engineering and reverse engineering, often using digital tools to preserve and valorize industrial archaeology. He advises museums and ICOMOS, translating obscure technical heritage into interoperable, actionable data for modern engineering contexts. With nine years of documented professional experience plus industry stints at PSA and Alstom, he couples hands-on mechanical design and mechatronics with multiobjective optimization interests reflected on his GitHub. Colleagues describe him as someone who repurposes the past as a pragmatic foundation for future technological systems.
