RAUFFET Philippe

Philippe Rauffet is full professor at ENSIBS since 2023, and has been working at Université Bretagne Sud (Lorient, France) since 2012.

He received his Ph.D. degree in 2010 from Ecole Centrale Nantes at IRCCyN laboratory, and his HDR (accreditation to direct research) from Université Bretagne Sud (UBS) on the topic of Human-Autonomy Teaming. In 2021, he was invited researcher for one sabbatical year at University of Adelaide, where he participated to the launch of the CNRS international lab CROSSING.

His main interests focus on the modelling and the evaluation of operator cognitive states (e.g. mental workload, cognitive control, stress), as well as the optimization of human-machine cooperation (with dynamic function allocation, as well as adaptive and transparent dialogue between humans and autonomous systems). He studies these research questions with a multidisciplinary approach, combining automatics, human-factors engineering, and physiological signals processing and classification. On this topic, he was the leader of FHOOX team (Human and Organizational Factors, Automatics and compleX systems) at Lab-STICC UMR CNRS 6285 between 2020 and 2024, and also responsible of the SHM department (Humans-Machines Systems) from 2022 to 2024. 

He has been working on several national and industrial projects, with both civilian and defence applications, in the domains of transportation systems (autonomous car, submarine, surface vessel, aircraft) and industry 4.0 (manufacturing supervision and predictive maintenance). He especially carried out some studies with Airbus, Thales, Renault, Dassault Aviation, Valeo, AXA, Naval Group, DGA, and French Merchant Navy.

He is currently the deputy director of ENSIBS, the engineering school of UBS, as head of research and innovation, responsible for the CPER programme of investments on Industry of the Future, and elected to the Research Comission at UBS.
