Marie-Paule Cani (born 1965) is a French computer scientist conducting advanced research in the fields of shape modeling and computer animation. She has contributed to over 300 research publications having around 12000 citations. [1]
In 2007, Cani received the national Irène Joliot-Curie Prize to acknowledge her actions in mentoring women in computer science. [2] She wants to strengthen the presence of women in scientific careers and mentors doctoral students. She won the Eurographics Award in 2011 for her work in outstanding technical contributions to the creation of 3D content. [3]
In 1999, Institut Universitaire de France awarded her with junior membership.
In 2019 she is elected at the French Academy of sciences.
In 2014, Cani became the chair of computer science at the Collège de France. [4]
Since May 2017, Cani has been professor of computer science at Ecole Polytechnique, Paris-Saclay, France. Prior to this, she held the same position at Grenoble INP from 1997 where she was the head of the INRIA research group EVASION, part of Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann, a joint lab of CNRS and Grenoble Université Alpes. She became a full Professor in 1997. For a period of five years, from 1993 to 1997, she served as an assistant professor at Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble. She started her academic career in 1990, as a lecturer at Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris.
Irène Joliot-Curie was a French chemist, physicist and politician, the elder daughter of Pierre Curie and Marie Skłodowska–Curie, and the wife of Frédéric Joliot-Curie. Jointly with her husband, Joliot-Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935 for their discovery of induced radioactivity, making them the second-ever married couple to win the Nobel Prize, while adding to the Curie family legacy of five Nobel Prizes. This made the Curies the family with the most Nobel laureates to date. She was also one of the first three women to be a member of a French government, becoming undersecretary for Scientific Research under the Popular Front in 1936. Both children of the Joliot-Curies, Hélène and Pierre, are also prominent scientists.

The French National Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics is the coordinating body for nuclear and particle physics in France. It was established in 1971 as a division of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). Its purpose is "to promote and unite research activities in the various fields of physics".
Hélène Langevin-Joliot is a French nuclear physicist known for her research on nuclear reactions in French laboratories and for being the granddaughter of Marie Curie and Pierre Curie and the daughter of Irene Joliot-Curie and Frédéric Joliot-Curie, all four of whom have received Nobel Prizes, in Physics or Chemistry. Since retiring from a career in research Hélène has participated in activism centered around encouraging women and girls to participate in STEM fields. Her activism also revolves around promoting greater science literacy for the general public.
Paris Sciences et Lettres University is a public research university based in Paris, France. It was established in 2010 and formally created as a university in 2019. It is a collegiate university with 11 constituent schools, with the oldest founded in 1530. PSL is located in central Paris, with its main sites in the Latin Quarter, at the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève campus, at the Jourdan campus, at Porte Dauphine, and at Carré Richelieu.

Radhia Cousot was a French computer scientist known for inventing abstract interpretation.
Laure Saint-Raymond is a French mathematician, and a professor of mathematics at Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES). She was previously a professor at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon. She is known for her work in partial differential equations, and in particular for her contributions to the mathematically rigorous study of the connections between interacting particle systems, the Boltzmann equation, and fluid mechanics. In 2008 she was awarded the European Mathematical Society Prize, with her citation reading:
Saint-Raymond is well known for her outstanding results on nonlinear partial differential equations in the dynamics of gases and plasmas and also in fluid dynamics. [...] Saint-Raymond is at the origin of several outstanding and difficult results in the field of nonlinear partial differential equations of mathematical physics. She is one of the most brilliant young mathematicians in her generation.
