Mr. Sebastien DAUVÉ
CEO, CEA-Leti, France
Sebastien Dauvé was named Director of CEA-Leti effective on July 1, 2021, after more than twenty years of experience in microelectronics technologies and their applications, including clean mobility, medicine of the future, cybersecurity, and power electronics.
Sebastien Dauvé started his career at the French Armament Electronics Center, where he worked on developing synthetic-aperture radar. In 2003, he joined CEA-Leti as an industrial transfer manager and supervised several joint research laboratories, in particular with the multinational Michelin.
In 2007, Sebastien Dauvé became a laboratory manager, then head of an R&D department specializing in sensors applied to the Internet of things and electric mobility. During this time, he supported the dissemination of new technologies in industry, including the automotive industry (Renault), aeronautics and national defense (SAFRAN), and microchips with the industry leader (INTEL). He played an active role in the creation of start-ups, from health to infrastructure security, leading to dozens of new jobs. In 2016, he became Director of the CEA-Leti Systems Division.
From sensors to wireless communication, Sebastien Dauvé has played an active role in the digital transformation, focused on coupling energy frugality and performance. He has made cross-disciplinary approaches central to innovation by harnessing the expertise of talented teams with diverse backgrounds. Their goal is to provide technological tools for meeting the major societal challenges of the future.
Sebastien Dauvé is a graduate of the prestigious French Ecole Polytechnique and the National Higher French Institute of Aeronautics and Space (ISAE-SUPAERO).
Presentation Title:
KEYNOTE: Advanced Innovations from Edge AI to Greener Electronics
Like any generational advance in technology, the 5G-6G transition will greatly improve the ability to link several-orders-of-magnitude more devices; create zero-latency, zero energy, ultra-reliable links; perform semantic-enhanced data mining; and seamlessly share knowledge between humans and machines in support of artificial intelligence and other advanced applications.
Today, the worldwide 5G rollout has resulted in some local states placing stringent limits on electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions, impacting network deployment and increasing the complexity of upcoming spectrum use.
For the new generation, the real breakthrough will come from considering frequencies beyond 100 GHz. The extremely large bandwidths available here are of particular interest with, at first, D-band at about 140 GHz, and later the 300-GHz range.
CEA-Leti is working on two specific aspects: On the transceiver side and on the antenna side.
The presentation will take stock of CEA- Leti’s progress in these 2 areas.
