I am assistant professor ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_ranks_in_France#Permanent_positions][maître de conférences]]) at [[http://www.univ-evry.fr/fr/index.html][Université d'Évry,
Paris-Saclay University]].  I do my research at [[https://www.ibisc.univ-evry.fr/en][IBISC]].

Write to me at *=sergiu= $_{dot}$ =ivanov= (at) =univ-evry.fr=*  .

Here is a [[file:content/me/ivanov-ripec.pdf][report]] (in French) about different aspects of my work from
2018 to 2022.

* Research
  I am currently /actively working/ on:

  #+ATTR_HTML: :class keylinks
  [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_and_theoretical_biology][theoretical biology]]   [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_nanotechnology][DNA nanotechnology]]   [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_computing][natural computing]]

  I am interested in formal and abstract structures, as well as their
  various connections to biological reality.
