After getting his high-school diplom in 2001, Stéphane Turlier enrolled at the preparation faculty for ingenieur schools of Janson de Sailly in Paris where he attended intensive lectures in mathematics and physics. (This part of the French elite system is comparable to the four first semesters of a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics).

In 2004, he started studying electrical engineering at Telecom SudParis. He had in 2006 his first contact with industrial research at the Sagem Communications anticipation department where he worked as an intern on the STUNT protocol used for VoIP. He moved to EURECOM to do his major in wireless communications and his minor in multimedia techniques. He completed his telecommunication engineering degree in 2007 and wrote a master thesis on the use of MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 metadata for audio applications at the IT-Drive research department of BMW in Munich. He started the same year to work for BMW as a Ph.D. candidate on user-centric mobile infotainment applications.
