The Université Blaise Pascal was my Alma Mater. I got my Ph. D there, in 2005, from its "Laboratoire des Sciences et Matériaux pour l'Electronique, et d'Automatique" (LASMEA), now called the Institut Pascal.
The University itself does not exist anymore, like many of the things of my previous life. It became the Université Clermont Auvergne on 1 January (2017). As most of the things that changed since my childhood, it also changed for a lesser version. «Après moi, le déluge.»
