Founder and Research Lead

Michaël Vaillant — Founder and Research Lead of Meta-Connexions

Michaël Vaillant work combines methodological rigor, explainable models, and pragmatic implementation. He has worked for nearly two decades in connection with the French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES) and contributes to projects at the boundary between research, investigation, and operational decision support.

His research interests include spatial statistics, anomaly characterization, weak-signal analysis, knowledge engineering, cosmology, and foundational physics. Depending on the scope of a project, he works independently or activates ad hoc expert collaborations.

  • Data-centric methods for complex observational phenomena
  • Knowledge engineering and explainable analytical tools
  • Independent research, expert missions, and methodological development
