Senior🎓
Top SchoolRenaud Richardet is an experienced data scientist and educator with 15 years of experience applying large-scale NLP, recommender systems and transformer models to real-world problems across academia, startups and industry. He currently teaches computer science and NLP at Swiss applied universities while building practical systems that measure environmental and social impact from millions of documents. His background blends a PhD in neuroscience—where he extracted large knowledge graphs from billions of words—with hands-on CTO and senior engineering roles shipping distributed content-analysis and production ML pipelines. Renaud’s work often bridges research and product: he reduces literature review workflows from days to hours and deploys transformer classifiers at scale for impact assessment. Based in Geneva, he pairs deep technical craftsmanship with a clear focus on sustainability and education, and is actively exploring how LLMs can transform teaching.
