I was wondering if it would be possible to input data more easily (something like addmember{M. Pink}{Yourplace}{HDR}{Directeur de thèse}), and then have the table generated automatically without worrying about the number of jury members (some people may have 4 members, some up to 8).

In Python for instance, I would have used a list of dict (or just of lists if I did not care about semantics), each dict describing a jury member, and would have iterated over that list to write the table. Is it possible to do something like that with LaTeX?
