Antoine Tavant coordinates the activities of the Centre Spatial de l'École polytechnique (CSEP), which proposes and conducts space-related student projects at the École polytechnique. These projects include two nanosatellite projects and three experimental rocket projects in 2021. These projects aim to have students work on concrete and innovative projects, in line with the current space sector. Antoine is an alumnus of both École polytechnique and ISAE SUPAERO, having started his research at the University of California at Berkley, before doing a thesis on electric propulsion for satellites with Safran at the Plasma Physics Laboratory.
