Senior🎓
Top SchoolZéphir Lorne is a research-minded software engineer and maker with 10 years of multidisciplinary experience at the intersection of cognitive science, immersive art, and human-centered engineering. Currently a Research Assistant at École des Arts Décoratifs and MSc Cognitive Science student at ENS-PSL, he prototypes sensors and systems to study how immersive HMI can induce relaxation and altered states using physiological and qualitative measures. He has shipped production-ready web and AI tools (including a 50x efficiency-improving SMS chatbot at Gojob), built complex interactive art installations controlling thousands of LEDs, and led product and workshop design for startups and cultural institutions. Equally at home coding Python, React, and embedded systems as he is directing short films, he translates research questions into tangible, sensory experiences. Based in Paris, he brings a rare blend of technical craft, artistic sensibility, and ethical AI practice focused on social impact. An under-the-radar strength is his track record of turning creative prototypes into operational tools that measurably improve team workflows and audience engagement.
