{{ :sivanov.jpg?200}}

I am holding an associate professor ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_ranks_in_France#Tenured_positions|maître de conférences]]) position at [[http://www.univ-evry.fr/fr/index.html|Université Évry Val d'Essonne]]. I do my research in the [[https://www.ibisc.univ-evry.fr/start?do=search&id=|IBISC Lab]].

Previously, I did a postdoc with [[https://sites.google.com/site/nicolasglade/|Nicolas GLADE]] on biomechanical modelling of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytoskeleton|cytoskeleton]], with additional focus on unconventional computing, theoretical biology, and epistemology.

I defended my {{:phd.pdf|thesis}} entitled //"On the Power and Universality of Biologically-inspired Models of Computation"// in 2015 ({{:phd-beam.pdf|presentation slides}}). My thesis was supervised by [[http://lacl.univ-paris12.fr/verlan/|Sergey Verlan]].

I can be reached at ''sergiu'' <sub>dot</sub> ''ivanov'' (at) ''univ-evry.fr''.

This is my {{:cv-en.pdf|CV}}.

==== Publications ====
The list of my publications is available [[en:publications|here]].

==== Programming ====
My main programming language is [[https://www.haskell.org/|Haskell]]. I am pretty knowledgeable about C++, Python, and Java. I participated in two editions of [[wp>Google Summer of Code]]. [[https://github.com/scolobb|Here]] is my GitHub profile.
==== Teaching ====
Here is a list of courses I prepared:

  * [[en:alife-intro|a very quick introduction to artificial life]]
  * [[en:pn-biomodelling|Petri nets for biomodelling]]
  * [[en:cytoscape_intro|introduction to Cytoscape]]
  * [[en:haskell_for_life|Haskell for Life]]
  * [[en:cours_de_systemes_et_reseaux|operating systems and networks]]
  * [[en:cours_de_theorie_des_langages|basic parsing]]
  * [[en:togitornottogit|To Git or Not to Git]]
