Etienne Tack has been a PhD student in computer science at INSIGHT company, in New Caledonia, since September 2021. He is a member of the Institute of Pure and Applied Sciences research laboratory (ISEA) at the University of New Caledonia (UNC).
His PhD, entitled Development of Hybrid Agent-Based Environmental Applications, Guided by Data Sciences, is supervised by Frederic Flouvat, Professor in computer science at the Aix-Marseille Institute of Technology, and co-directed by Jean Marie Fotsing, Professor in geography at the UNC. He is also directed by Gilles Énée, Senior Lecturer in computer science at the UNC.
Etienne’s research interests are agent-based systems and data sciences, two fields of artificial intelligence. His main research goal is to create a new method that uses these two fields together to aim for more accurate, interpretable and explainable models. He is studying the use of agent-based systems applied to environmental applications, starting with the simulation of informal settlements’ dynamics in South Pacific islands.
