I am holding an associate professor (maître de conférences) position at Université Évry Val d'Essonne. I do my research in the IBISC Lab.

Previously, I did a postdoc with Nicolas GLADE on biomechanical modelling of the cytoskeleton, with additional focus on unconventional computing, theoretical biology, and epistemology.

I defended my thesis entitled “On the Power and Universality of Biologically-inspired Models of Computation” in 2015 (presentation slides). My thesis was supervised by Sergey Verlan.

This is my CV.

The research topics I have already worked on can be described by the following keywords (in no particular order).

unconventional computing   formal languages   formal rewriting   complexity   biomodelling   software for biomodelling

Here are the names of some formal models I have worked with (in no particular order).

Petri nets   membrane (P) systems   register machines   reaction systems

The research domains on which I would like to work in the nearest future can be described by the following keywords (in no particular order).

precision medicine   complex systems   category theory   functional programming   theoretical biology   traffic dynamics

The list of my publications is available here.

My main programming language is Haskell. I am pretty knowledgeable about C++, Python, and Java. I participated in two editions of Google Summer of Code. Here is my GitHub profile.

Here is a list of courses I prepared:

• introduction to LaTeX
• operating systems
• a very quick introduction to artificial life
• Petri nets for biomodelling
• introduction to Cytoscape
• To Git or Not to Git
• Haskell for Life
• operating systems and networks
• basic parsing
