Hello dear reader, welcome to my personal page! 🌻
My name is Hélène Tran, and I am currently a third year Ph.D candidate in Automatic Emotion Recognition, attached to LIMOS computer science laboratory and to Jeolis Solutions digital services company (Clermont-Ferrand, France).
I keep being in search of new and exciting challenges to gain professional and personal experiences: this is my secret key to feeling fulfilled in my life. Humanitarian trip, tutoring, study abroad, now doing a 3-year research in two fields that I love (Artificial Intelligence and Psychology), and many more experiences to come!
Moreover, I aim to dedicate my life in improving others' life through my professional career, and would love to direct it towards the field of medicine, environment or education. I also love cultivating my openness of mind by nourishing my thoughts through social interactions and readings. I have travelled in many countries, including Nepal (humanitarian trip), Australia (one and a half year study), where I met different cultures and learned from them, but also Bangladesh and Japan.
This website is intended to share my knowledge and experiences with you. I hope you will enjoy navigating in it!
Enjoy your visit and have a great day! ☀️
PS: My website is not complete yet, I need to fill most of the contents (which takes lots of time!). The last article I wrote is about my humanitarian trip, so feel free to read it!
Professional Background
After obtaining the scientific Baccalauréat with Very Good distinction in France, I studied an intensive two-year class in Mathematics and Physics in order to prepare national competitive exams for Engineering Schools.
I successfully entered one of the top Engineering Schools specialised in Computer Science and Mathematics (ENSIIE, for École Nationale Supérieure d'Informatique pour l'Industrie et l'Entreprise). I gained technical skills in Programming and Project Management, along with expanding my knowledge in Mathematics.
While I was preparing a specialisation in Software Engineering, I was introduced to Artificial Intelligence, thus I decided to do a double degree in Australia in this field. For a year and a half, I enjoyed studying the techniques used in Artificial Intelligence and reflecting on the possibilities it offers to society.
All my professional experiences that followed have been aimed at using Artificial Intelligence to improve the well-being of our society: developing an open-source software for radiotherapy research (OnkoDICOM), performing the classification of prostate cancer tumours and now creating a robust automatic emotion recognition system to keep the user motivated in his/her remote medical follow-up (see Projects tab for more details).
