About me
My name is Mina Pêcheux, I am 23 and I’m an engineer in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. I graduated from the Polytech Sorbonne engineering school, in Paris, France. I believe our future will heavily depend on the new emerging technologies and I hope to be a part of it by working in this sector – in particular, I’m very interested in how Internet, video games or AI impact us and how they are discussed today.
I am passionate about many domains, ranging from ‘pure science’ like maths to arts such as music or writing. What I really enjoy is linking together seemingly unrelated things through projects because I believe it gives me a better understanding of each field’s concepts and boundaries. To me, creation and empiricism are essential to true understanding, which is why I often reintegrate theories I have learnt at work or during my studies in personal works, and vice-versa.
