Fabien MATHÉ

I am an engineering student at SeaTech Toulon - France, specializing in the MOCA program (Modeling and Numerical Simulation for Fluids and Structures). Passionate about robotics and mechatronics, I continuously expand my expertise through ambitious projects. My ultimate goal is to develop a fully autonomous multi-agent system for exploring underwater and underground caves.

Currently, I am an intern at Ifremer, contributing to research on visual SLAM for underwater applications. Beyond this work, I dedicate my free time to three other projects.

The one closest to my heart is Zéphyr, a naval engineering project from the HydroSharks association at my school, which I had the honor of leading during the 2023-2024 academic year. This project aims to build a modular and easily disassemblable autonomous trimaran for oceanographic research, powered solely by wind.

From this project emerged another initiative: the development of a real-time, photorealistic sailing simulation in Unity named Hydro’Sim. While the project is already well advanced, it still requires significant work to reach its full potential.

Lastly, aligning with my long-term ambitions, I am currently designing and engineering a bio-inspired drone intended for the exploration of underwater and underground cavities called Beacon, combining nature’s efficiency with technology.
