CORENTIN CHANTEREAU

Currently pursuing an MSc in Creative Technology Engineering at ESILV Paris, I design and develop impact-driven projects combining electronics, mechanics, product design, programming, and entrepreneurship. I have a particular interest in hands-on, modular projects, where ideas quickly evolve into functional prototypes, especially during hackathons or personal projects (detection systems, connected objects, high-voltage devices, etc.).

My background has allowed me to explore a variety of domains: embedded systems, biomaterials, artisanal manufacturing, low-tech design, lightweight AI, and more. I like to be fully involved in a project, managing all aspects, from conception to presentation while continuously learning along the way.
