Brigitte Plateau is a French computer scientist. A former student of the École Normale Supérieure at Fontenay-aux-Roses majoring in Mathematics (option in Probability Theory), she is a Doctor of Information Studies. A University Professor at Grenoble Institute of Technology (Grenoble INP) since 1988, since February 2012 she has been the General Administrator of the Grenoble INP cluster.[1][2]
Plateau is president of the AFDESRI (Association of Women Leaders of Higher Education, Research and Innovation) since September 2014[3] and Allistene (Alliance of the Digital Sciences and Technologies) since November 2014.
In 2010, Brigitte Plateau became director of the Ensimag school in Grenoble-INP.[8] In February 2012, she was elected director of the group Grenoble-INP, the first woman to have this position.[9][10] She was re-elected for a term of 4 years in February 2016.
In November 2014, she became president of the AFDESRI whose goal is to fight against the glass ceiling that affects women in the academic field.[11] She also directs the Allistene, making her the first woman president of a research alliance.[12][1]
