Franck Silvestre is a Maître de conférences HDR en informatique combining academic leadership with two decades of entrepreneurial experience in e-education and distributed architectures. After starting as a mathematics teacher he trained as an engineer, founded Fylab in 2000 and led the development of the Éliot ENT platform used across Île‑de‑France high schools. He later co-founded Ticetime and transitioned into research, completing a doctorate in EIAH (Environnements Informatiques pour l'Apprentissage Humain) in 2015 and earning his HDR in 2024. Since 2018 he has taught and led research at IRIT, directing the TALENT team from 2025 and bridging applied system design with pedagogical innovation. His profile blends product delivery at scale with rigorous academic inquiry—rarely seen together—and reflects a practical focus on schooling technologies informed by philosophical and mathematical roots. Based in Toulouse, he continues to drive research-informed solutions for digital learning environments.
