Mylène PARDOEN

Mylène Pardoen is a sound heritage archaeologist, a scientific expert for the restoration of Notre-Dame and with RT MAESTRO, and a CNRS Innovation Ambassador. She is a research engineer at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). With a Ph.D. in musicology, she specializes in the study and reconstruction of historical soundscapes (archaeology of the soundscape). Based at the MSH-LSE in Lyon, she works, among other things, on the Bretez project (5D reconstruction of 18th-century Paris), and focuses her research on the preservation of intangible cultural heritage (sensory aspects of craftsmanship through the ESPHAISTOSS project [Sensory Study and Analysis of Trades in Built Historical Heritage and Artistic Crafts and Their Sound Reconstruction and Digital Preservation]). She participates in the Chronospédia project (for the preservation of horological heritage) and its reconstruction, as well as the MENECHME project (New Audiovisual Capture Methodologies, Synchronization, and Immersive Reconstruction for Intangible Heritage). Her work enables a sensory interpretation of history. Selected for the Innovatives awards in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022, her projects are applied in the context of sound design for heritage sites and museums. As part of the CNRS Talents program, she has received numerous awards, including a CNRS Cristal in 2020, a Geste d’Argent (Arts and Crafts and Memory) in 2021, and a Care d’Or 2023 (Research and Application).
