A container falls into the sea, spilling its contents and releasing pollutants of unknown nature. To anticipate such a crisis situation and respond as quickly as possible, teams from CEPPOL and CEDRE, with the help of researchers from ENSTA, collaborated...

Is attending an MSc in Engineering in a French "Grande École" the best path to research? In any case, that is the path taken by Joséphine Monzac, ENSTA 2021, who has just defended her doctoral thesis, as do about one-third of each graduating class from...

With nearly 7% of global CO₂ emissions linked to the metallurgy industry, metal recycling is clearly essential to reducing the sector's footprint. But how can metal waste be transformed into high-performance materials capable of meeting the needs of the...

Following on from Le Figaro Étudiant's ranking published last November, the 2026 ranking by L'Étudiant magazine confirms the new ENSTA's lasting position among the top engineering schools in France.

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are playing an increasingly important role in space communications, Earth observation, and scientific missions. Their proximity to the Earth's surface offers many advantages, but also imposes severe constraints on onboard...

Rozali Badaoui's early thesis work has just been recognized with the Best Paper Award in the “Engineering Education” category at the IEEE ETECOM 2025 conference on emerging trends in engineering and computing, held in Bahrain last October.

On Tuesday, January 13, ENSTA's Paris-Saclay campus hosted the first edition of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris's Seas and Ocean Forum, which is part of the activities of the Interdisciplinary Seas and Ocean Center (CIMO). This unifying event brought...

Robots can already see, hear, and even smell, but their sense of touch remains very rudimentary and is more akin to obstacle detection than any kind of dexterity. How can this be improved? This is the focus of the thesis work of Adnan Saood, a doctoral...

Recently appointed to the ENSTA campus in Brest, Franck Ruffier is a CNRS research director in robotics in the ROBEX team at Lab-STICC. His research projects are inspired by living organisms. At the crossroads of biology and robotics, he explores animal...
