Nicolas Gutowski
Nicolas Gutowski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Industrial Computing at IUT of Angers (University of Angers, France) since 2020 and is a member of the LERIA Laboratory. He worked as an IT engineer in Paris (2006–2010) before teaching in four universities (Angers, Poitiers, La Rochelle, Rouen) in 2010–2011. He then served as lecturer and head of the computer engineering department at ESAIP (2011–2016) and as lecturer at ESEO (2016–2019), where he completed a PhD in Computer Science on Reinforcement Learning and Recommendation Systems (2019, supervised by T. Amghar and O. Camp). He continued as Associate Professor at ESEO (2019–2020) before joining the University of Angers. In March 2025, he obtained his H.D.R. (Accreditation to Supervise Research) in Computer Science on multicriteria optimization for machine learning and feature selection, physics-guided deep learning, and generative AI for symbolic music and molecular generation.
