  • Antoine Browaeys, CNRS researcher at the Charles Fabry Laboratory (LCF – Univ. Paris-Saclay/CNRS/Institut d’Optique Graduate School) since 2013, head of the Quantum Optics – Atoms research team, and specialist in the manipulation of atoms with lasers.
  • Bérengère Dubrulle, CNRS research director at the Condensed Matter Physics laboratory (SPEC – Univ. Paris-Saclay/CNRS/CEA) where she studies the theory of fully-developed turbulence and astro- and geophysical fluid dynamics more generally.
  • Bertrand Maury, professor at Université Paris-Saclay at the Orsay Mathematics Laboratory (LMO – Univ. Paris-Saclay/ CNRS)
  • Frank Merle, professor at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) and CY Cergy Pontoise Université.
