Summary
Thomas Hannagan is an AI researcher and manager with a decade of experience bridging deep learning, cognitive neuroscience, and industrial R&D to bring robust generative-AI solutions into automotive contexts at Stellantis. Trained with dual PhDs in cognitive sciences from École normale supérieure and Pierre & Marie Curie, he has a long track record in computational neuroscience, language modeling, and research engineering across CNRS, CEA, Collège de France and international labs. He leads a research team that prioritizes distinguishing hype from practical performance—deploying models that work under real-world constraints rather than lab-only benchmarks. Comfortable moving between theory and production, he has steered projects from neural simulations of language to applied AI systems in industry. Based in France, he combines academic rigor with product-minded leadership, uniquely positioning him to translate cognitive insights into dependable AI for complex automotive systems.
