Name: Thomas Vuillaume (ESCAPE School Chair)
Bio: Thomas Vuillaume is an astrophysicist and data scientist working at CNRS-LAPP. He obtained his PhD in theoretical astrophysics developing numerical jet models and applying them to observational data before to turn to data analysis. He is an active member of the H.E.S.S. and CTA collaborations, working on the development of data analysis techniques and software for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes. His expertise includes Python development, data science and machine learning.
