Julien Idé is a data scientist with 12 years of experience bridging academic research and industry, currently applying modeling and data-analysis skills at Cdiscount from his base in Bordeaux. He earned a PhD in theoretical chemistry and spent nearly a decade developing simulation, analysis and visualization tools (Fortran, C++, R, Python) for multi-scale modelling in physical chemistry and organic electronics. His work spans first-principles codes (SIESTA, QuantumEspresso, GAMESS, ORCA) and molecular dynamics (LAMMPS), with published, peer-reviewed outputs driven by curiosity and methodological rigor. Julien has built reusable R packages and simulation toolchains (including a public Atoms repo) that reveal an interest in reproducible scientific software beyond one-off scripts. About to become a father, he’s transitioning to industry-focused data science while preserving a strong foundation in computational physics and open, collaborative development.
