Her name is Tahina Ralitera, she is only 24 years old and is currently pursuing her 3rd year of a PhD in Computer Science at the Laboratoire d’Informatique et de Math\u00e9matiques (LIM) of the University of Reunion. Holder of the L’Or\u00e9al-UNESCO Fellowship for Women in Science, she tells us about her career.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From Madagascar to Reunion Island<\/h2>\n

Tahina Ralitera studied in Antananarivo at the Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure de Polytechnique (ESPA), in the Telecommunication field, in the Engineering course. In 2013, she was awarded a French Government Scholarship for Excellence. The cooperation agreement between ESPA and the Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure d’Ing\u00e9nieur R\u00e9union Oc\u00e9an Indien (ESIROI) allows him to be one of the 3 students selected to continue their studies in Reunion Island. She recounts:<\/p>\n

“It has always been my dream to get a scholarship that would allow me to continue my studies abroad. I have always considered it a great opportunity. As they say, you have to leave to come back.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Valedictorian with Honors during her Master 2 at ESIROI in 2016, Tahina Ralitera is on a quest for excellence. So she goes to the SMARTGREENS international conference in 2017 and publishes a paper as a first author. The latter is awarded the Best Poster Award.<\/p>\n

Tahina began her thesis working with researchers at Imperial College London (ICL). His field of research? The city and the smart island, especially the mobility and transport aspect. “As a computer scientist, I am working on the development of software to simulate the flow of electric vehicle movements in cities and islands. This software is intended to be used as a decision support tool.”<\/p>\n

In concrete terms, it is working on reproducing the behaviour of individual electric vehicles on a computer. These behaviors are translated into computer programs or “agents”. In this way, the simulations generate statistical data useful for decision-making. In other words, it allows it to know, for example, where the ideal location for a charging station would be.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Currently a PhD student, but future teacher-researcher<\/h2>\n

In 2017, Tahina Ralitera applied online for the FRANCE L’Or\u00e9al-UNESCO Fellowships for Women in Science.<\/p>\n

Created in 2007, this program focuses on the participation of young women in science and promotes research in a professional setting. Quality of the application: scientific excellence of the research project, ability to communicate and promote science as well as mastery of the French language are part of the selection criteria. The L’Or\u00e9al-UNESCO For Women in Science fellowships, worth US$15,000, are aimed at the most talented young women researchers. Among a thousand applications, only 30 were retained and selected by the President of the Academy of Sciences, including Tahina Ralitera.

 <\/p>\n

“I have often received discouraging remarks. Sometimes people have questioned my skills as a computer scientist just because I am a woman. I had to prove myself. However, the mentality is changing and I feel like I belong.” A prototype of the flow simulation software developed by Tahina Ralitera is already functional in London.<\/p>\n

“Contrary to what most people think, science is not a male domain. Girls have every right to be in it and can excel in it, just like boys.”

In the long term, Tahina Ralitera wishes to become a teacher-researcher and carry out missions in Madagascar: teaching, research, humanitarian projects…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
