I mostly teach computer science and engineering at the \emph{licence} level (approximately, bachelor), and mostly theoretical biology, network biology, and bioinformatics at the Master's level. I have a \textbf{CRCT} (approximately, \textbf{sabbatical}) for the school year 2023--2024. The following tables briefly list the courses I teach, am in charge of (marked with the sign $\star$), or share the responsibility of (marked with the sign $\ast$), together with the typical teaching hours. I only describe the time period after I obtained the current tenured Maître de conférences --- Associate Professor position. \pagebreak \subsection{Master's level courses} \label{sec:teaching-msc} \cvsecrule \newcommand{\teachingskip}{2mm} \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{>{\bf}ll X} 2022--2023 & M2 GENIOMHE & \textbf{Computational DNA nanotechnology}$\ast$ \\ && \emph{SI:}\footnote{Hours taught by Sergiu \textsc{Ivanov}.} 7.5h CM+TD, Damien \textsc{Regnault}: 7.5h CM+TD \\[\teachingskip] 2017--2023 & M2 GENIOMHE & \textbf{Computational Systems Biology \& Network Medicine}$\ast$ \\ && \emph{SI:} 12h CM+TD, Franck \textsc{Delaplace}: 12CM+TD \\[\teachingskip] 2017--2023 & M2 SSB & \textbf{Network Systems: Modelling and Analysis}$\ast$ \\ && \emph{SI:} 12h CM+TD, Franck \textsc{Delaplace}: 9CM+TD \\[\teachingskip] 2017--2023 & M2 CNS & \textbf{Systèmes multi-agents}$\ast$ \\ && \emph{SI:} 9h CM+TD, Guillaume \textsc{Hutzler}: 9h CM+TD \\[\teachingskip] \end{tabularx} \subsection{Bachelor level courses} \label{sec:teaching-licence} \cvsecrule \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{>{\bf}ll X} 2017--2023 & L3 informatique & \textbf{Projet Professionnel d'Études et d'Insertion}$\star$ \\ && \emph{SI:} 9h TD \\[\teachingskip] 2017--2023 & L3 informatique & \textbf{Systèmes d'exploitation}$\star$ \\ && \emph{SI:} 18h CM + 18h TD \\[\teachingskip] 2020--2023 & L2 informatique & \textbf{Programmation système} \\ && \emph{SI:} 18h TD \\[\teachingskip] 2017--2023 & L1 informatique & \textbf{Algorithmique et programmation} \\ && \emph{SI:} 36h TD \\[\teachingskip] 2017--2023 & L1 informatique & \textbf{Programmation impérative} \\ && \emph{SI:} 36h TD \\[\teachingskip] 2020--2023 & L1 informatique & \textbf{Méthodologie} \\ && \emph{SI:} 12h TD \\[\teachingskip] 2019--2021 & L1 informatique & \textbf{Architecture} \\ && \emph{SI:} 18h TD \\[\teachingskip] 2018--2021 & L1 informatique & \textbf{Émulateur pédagogique} \\ && \emph{Supplementary course for Parcoursup candidates with the decision OUI-SI.} \\ && \emph{SI:} 10h TD \\[\teachingskip] \end{tabularx} \subsection{Other courses} \label{sec:teaching-other} \cvsecrule \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{>{\bf}ll X} 2020 & Open online class & \textbf{Introduction to Membrane Computing}$\ast$ \\ && \emph{SI:} 4h CM online + 4h TD online,\\ && David \textsc{Orellana-Martín}: 6h CM online + 4h TD online \\[\teachingskip] 2017--2024 & Popular science & \textbf{Fête de la Science --- Science Days}$\ast$ \\ && \emph{SI:} 2 full days on the stand + organization \end{tabularx} \subsection{Teaching and research} \label{sec:teaching-research} \cvsecrule All Master's level courses I teach are directly connected to my research. In the course \textbf{Computational DNA nanotechnology}, we introduce the students to DNA self-assembly and its potential applications, including applications in biology and medicine. We directly overview the state of the project I share with Damien \textsc{Regnault} to build a functioning pipeline for self-assembly of DNA nanostructures, spanning the entire spectrum from theoretical design to actual wet-lab production. Both the courses \textbf{Computational Systems Biology \& Network Medicine} and \textbf{Network Systems: Modelling and Analysis} focus on another major pillar of my research: approaching the complexity of biological systems using the tools of network science and discrete dynamical systems. More concretely, in these classes we introduce the students to the basics of graph theory, and then extensively discuss two formal models of discrete dynamical networks---Boolean networks and Petri nets---as well as show concrete applications for therapy inference or setting up formal frameworks for thinking about the origins of Life. Finally, I use the course \textbf{Systèmes multi-agents} (\emph{Multi-agent systems}) as an opportunity to introduce the students to emergent complexity of the living systems, made up of simple entities interacting in complex ways. In this course, we discuss different tools which can formalize multi-agent systems---in particular membrane (P) systems---and propose several practical assignments to help the students better understand the connection between abstract objects and concrete systems. Outside my normal teaching activity, I particularly appreciate \textbf{Science Days} (\emph{Fêtes de la Science}), which are always an excellent opportunity to illustrate the hallmarks of my research to school students and the general public. I have taken part in Science Days every year, including during the pandemic when we held online stands, and I have consistently invested a considerable effort in organizing the stands. Finally, even though my bachelor level courses are not in direct connection to my research, I always necessarily bring in discussions of complexity and even theoretical biology, to illustrate some abstract concepts on the one hand, and to challenge the students and push them out of their comfort zone on the other hand. \section{Organization of scientific events} \label{sec:management} \cvsecrule \newcommand{\eventskip}{2mm} \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{>{\bf}p{3cm} X} 2022 & \textbf{IBISC Laboratory Day} \\ & coorganization with Guillaume \textsc{Postic} \\[\eventskip] 2022 & Seminar \textbf{Atelier sur la Théorie Ataviste du Cancer --- ATAC2022} \\ & \emph{Workshop on the Atavistic Theory of Cancer} \\ & coorganization with Nicolas \textsc{Glade} and Angélique \textsc{Stéphanou} \\[\eventskip] 2020 & Online \textbf{Conference on Membrane Computing --- CMC 2020} \\ & coorganization with Rudolf \textsc{Freund} \\[\eventskip] 2018 & Seminar of the \textbf{Société Francophone de Biologie Théorique} \\ & \emph{French-speaking Society for Theoretical Biology} \\ & coorganization with Nicolas \textsc{Glade} and Angélique \textsc{Stéphanou} \\[\eventskip] 2018 & Joint conferences \textbf{Unconventional Computation, Natural Computation --- UCNC2018} and \textbf{Machines, Computations, and Universality --- MCU 2018} \\ & main organizer: Sergey \textsc{Verlan} \\[\eventskip] 2018 & \textbf{Workshop on Membrane Computing} \\ & conference \emph{Unconventional Computation, Natural Computation --- UCNC 2018} \\ & coorganization with Rudolf \textsc{Freund} \\[\eventskip] 2017 & \textbf{IBISC Laboratory Day} \\ & coorganization with Najett \textsc{Neji} \\[\eventskip] \end{tabularx} %%% Local Variables: %%% TeX-engine: luatex %%% TeX-master: "hdr" %%% End:
