Research laboratories in Digital sciences
The CPE Lyon digital science department research policy consists of attaching its lecturer researchers to existing structures.
The department is managed by Nacer Abouchi.
The electronics – microelectronic team is attached to the heterogeneous system design team at the Lyon Institute of Technology (INL).
The image team is attached to the Laboratoire Hubert Curien at the University of Saint-Etienne.
The telecommunications and embedded computing team works with the CITI Lab at INSA Lyon.

The Laboratoire Hubert Curien, has, since January 2007, been the new name of the TSI Laboratory. Its activity concerns information sciences and technology and communication.
Its research themes are: photonic systems, diffractive optics science and technology, laser processing, biophotonics, image processing as well as informatics and machine learning (formerly the EURISE team).
The LHC is organised into 2 departments:
- Optics and Photonics: Micro-nanostructuring of materials (O. PARRIAUX), laser – materials interaction (R. STOYAN) and biophotonics (Aziz BOUKENTER).
- Informatics and Image: image processing (M. JOURLIN) and machine learning (C. DE LA HIGUERA).
