Chandan Atreya, Partnerships and Innovation Officer, joined the AI Cluster 3IA Côte d’Azur in June to bring an international perspective to the AI Cluster’s research and innovation activities.
We asked Chandan to introduce himself:
Hello! My name is Chandan Atreya. I am originally from India, and I have been working at the interface of technology, research, and international cooperation for over 15 years. After completing my studies in chemistry, I began my career in industrial R&D, working with organizations such as GE Healthcare and ThermoFisher Scientific, where I contributed to patents and award-winning innovations in life sciences.
I then transitioned into science diplomacy, first as Scientific Coordinator at the French Embassy in India, supporting France-India research partnerships, and later as Senior Advisor for Science & Innovation at the Australian High Commission in India, where I managed bilateral R&D cooperation across AI, cybersecurity, green energy, and quantum technologies for over five years.
Following this, I joined Université Côte d'Azur, initially contributing to the Ulysseus European University Alliance and the university's international and European development department. Today, it is with great enthusiasm that I work alongside the AI Cluster 3IA Côte d'Azur team — bringing an international perspective to cutting-edge research and innovation!
Welcome to the AI Cluster 3IA Côte d’Azur!
