Current reading: Tural Aksel, Erik J. Navarro, Nicholas Fong, and Shawn M. Douglas. Design principles for accurate folding of DNA origami

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.

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.

Here is a list of courses I prepared, in chronological order:

• computational DNA nanotechnology, with Damien Regnault, password: m2geniomhe-dna
• introduction to membrane computing, with David Orellana-Martín and Ricardo Graciani, E-mail me for the password
• introduction to LaTeX and Git in French, password: ppei-l3
• operating systems in French, password: sye-l3
• 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

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. Here is my GitHub profile.

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 elected member of the Research Commission and of the Academic Council 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 member of the Council for Digital Ressources (Conseil des Utilisateurs du Numérique) of the Université d’Évry.

• 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).
