Dr Jean-Luc Dormoy joined CEA-DRT in May 2003, where he is now in charge of Architecture, Software & Cognitive Systems activities. CEA-DRT brings together more than 2,000 researchers, and 3 units: CEA-LIST, based in Paris suburbs, in the area of "Software Intensive Systems"; CEA-LETI, based in Grenoble, in the area of micro and nano technologies; CEA-LITEN, mainly based in Grenoble, in the area of new energy technologies.

Dr Dormoy has been a member of the executive committee of the RNTL since 2001 ( Réseau National des Technologies Logicielles , the French software initiative). He is in charge of 12 platform projects, which bring together research and industry actors around important “technological nodes”, such as middleware, numerical simulation or virtual reality.

Dr Dormoy is also involved in the European Technological platform ARTEMIS.

He published several papers on software economy and the unbalanced position of Europe.

Dr Jean-Luc Dormoy formerly worked at Electricité de France , where he developed many IT systems, going from nuclear plant monitoring to AI-based information system components.
