• Short bio:
  
Nicolas Gutowski holds an associate professor position in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Industrial Computing of the IUT of Angers (University of Angers, France) since 2020. He is a member of the LERIA Laboratory (Angers Computer Science Lab). Before this position, Nicolas Gutowski started working as engineer in IT Services & Software Engineering companies in Paris from 2006 to 2010. Then for the year 2010-2011, he became part-time lecturer in four different universities: Angers, Poitiers, La Rochelle, and Rouen. After this short period, Nicolas worked as lecturer and head of computer engineering department in the ESAIP school of engineers (Angers, France) from 2011 to 2016. Then, Nicolas held a position of lecturer in the computer engineering school ESEO (Angers, France) from 2016 to 2019 where he prepared a PhD in parallel of its lecturing activities. He received his PhD degree in Computer Science (Reinforcement Learning and Recommendation Systems topics) in 2019 from the University of Angers, supervised by Dr. Tassadit Amghar and Dr. Olivier Camp. He continued as an associate professor for almost a year (2019-2020) in the same school (ESEO) before joining University of Angers in september 2020.
