In this episode, we speak with Prof. Dr. Emmanuel Baccelli,
Professor of Open and Secure IoT Ecosystems at Freie Universität
Berlin and researcher at Inria, the French National Institute for
Research in Digital Science and Technology. His career has taken
him from Silicon Valley to academic positions in Paris and
Berlin, leading to a transnational role connecting the research
environments of France and Germany.

Emmanuel initially had no plans to pursue an academic career.
During the dot-com era, he worked as a software engineer in
Silicon Valley before returning to France to complete his PhD at
École Polytechnique. He explains how his industry experience
helped him connect academic research with practical technological
challenges.

The conversation explores the importance of intrinsic motivation,
supportive academic networks, and engagement beyond one’s
immediate research environment.

Reflecting on his own career, Emmanuel speaks openly about the
role of timing and chance in academia. He encourages early-career
researchers not to focus exclusively on obtaining a
professorship, but to seek stable positions that allow them to
pursue meaningful research over the long term.

The interview was conducted by Dr. Christina Ayazi from ZEWK at
TU Berlin.
