Anne Gagneux, a doctoral student at the Laboratory of Parallel Computing (LIP) and a member of the joint OCKHAM project team at the ENS Lyon, is one of the winners of this 20th edition.
The L’Oréal Foundation, in partnership with the French Academy of Sciences and the French National Commission for UNESCO, today announced—for the 20th consecutive year—the winners of the 2026 L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science France Award. This year’s edition honors 35 doctoral and postdoctoral researchers whose work addresses the major scientific challenges of tomorrow and who are committed to passing on their passion to future generations of female researchers.
Hailing from all regions of mainland France and its overseas territories and representing a variety of disciplines, the 35 young scientists were selected from among nearly 820 candidates by a jury of more than 50 members of the Academy of Sciences, who represent the highest standards in scientific evaluation.
Biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, engineering, Earth and space sciences: the award winners demonstrate remarkable expertise in their fields and apply their research to build a more equitable and sustainable future. For example, Léa Lenglart compares European prevention strategies to better protect infants from bronchiolitis; Anne Josiane Kouam analyzes our digital footprints to better protect our privacy in the age of artificial intelligence (AI); Qianwen Tan is designing facades capable of storing heat to cool buildings without air conditioning; and hydrogen researcher Kadidiatou Touré is studying natural hydrogen to develop it as a low-carbon energy source.
Anne Gagneux’s work, conducted as part of the SHARP project under the PEPR IA program, focuses on the design of computable, expressive, and generative denoisers for image restoration.
