Research
I am currently actively working on:
theoretical biology DNA nanotechnology natural computing theoretical computer science
I am also working on:
formal languages rewriting network biology complexity biomodelling
I have worked with these (and similar) formal models:
membrane (P) systems Boolean networks reaction systems register machines Petri nets
I am interested in formal and abstract structures, as well as their various connections to biological reality.
Publications
I maintain a complete list of my publications.
A fairly comprehensive list of my publications is also available on my DBLP page. A list of my publications with some freely downloadable full-texts is also available on HAL (a French scientific archive).
My ORCID number is 0000-0002-1537-6508 and I have a ResearchGate profile.

Seminars
Here are some slides from some of my seminars:
- Sequential Reprogramming of Biological Network Fate (slides)
- Understanding Evolution: A Methodology for Evaluating the Extensibility of Boolean Networks’ Structure and Function (slides)
- Theory of Computer Science: Why All That Formal Stuff? (slides)
- Universality and Computational Completeness of Controlled Leftist Insertion-Deletion Systems (slides)

Programming
I am currently developing dds, a home-made toolkit for discrete dynamical systems in Racket, a modern Lisp dialect.
In the past, I wrote many lines of Haskell, C++, and Python. Here is my GitHub profile.
Roles
I manage the work group on personalized medicine Axe transverse Médecine personnalisée at IBISC together with Farida Zehraoui.
I am a recommender for Peer Community In Mathematical and Computational Biology.
I am member of the editorial board of the Computer Science Journal of Moldova.
I am in charge with the first year of the master's program M1 Computer & Network Systems (M1 CNS, in French) together with Jean-Christophe Janodet.
I am an elected member of the Research Commission of Université d'Évry.
I am an elected member of the Council of the Graduate School "Computer Science" of the Paris-Saclay University.
I am an elected member of the Council of IBISC laboratory.
I co-organise with Association Info Évry the Évry site of the yearly night hackathon Nuit de l'Info.
I am member of the Council for Digital Ressources (Conseil des Utilisateurs du Numérique) of the Université d'Évry.
Past positions
- 2016–2017: Postdoc with Nicolas Glade on biomechanical modelling of the cytoskeleton, with additional focus on unconventional computing, theoretical biology, and epistemology.
- 2015–2016: ATER at Université Paris Est Créteil.
- 2012–2015: PhD student at Université Paris Est Créteil, supervised by Sergey Verlan. I defended my thesis entitled "On the Power and Universality of Biologically-inspired Models of Computation" in June 2015 (presentation slides).
