Summary
Mathieu Magnaudet is a researcher-turned-educational leader with eight years of focused experience in programming languages for interactive systems and a longer career in academic research. As a principal designer and contributor to the Smala programming language, he combines hands-on language design with deep philosophical inquiry into the nature of computation and interactivity. He has held roles from researcher to associate professor at ENAC and now serves as Chargé de coopération at DGAC, while directing the MSc IATSED program. Trained with a doctorate in cognitive sciences and a DEA in philosophy, he brings a rare blend of technical rigor and conceptual reflection to software and teaching. Colleagues know him for tackling not only implementation challenges but also foundational questions—what is a computer and where the Turing model falls short—which shape his approach to interactive-language design. Based in Paris, he blends academic depth with practical collaboration across research and industry.
