Professional Activities

Experience

September 2018 till now — Associate Professor, LGDP, Université de Perpignan Via Domitia

I am part of the Theoretical Biology team lead by Sébastien Gourbière and I work on the dynamics of transposable elements in genomes of plants.

April 2016 till July 2018 — Postdoctoral position, SnT, Université du Luxembourg

Member of the ASIMUT project (Aid to SItuation Management based on MUltimodal, MUltiUAVs, MUltilevel acquisition Techniques). The challenges of this project consist of handling several fleets, or swarms, of UAVs including communication, networking and positioning aspects. I focus my research on the mobility aspect of the swarms using chaotic dynamics. I also use these chaotic dynamics in optimization algorithms.

March 2015 till April 2016 — Postdoctoral position, LaBRI (UMR-5800), Univ. Bordeaux

Member of the ASIMUT project where I focused my reasearch on the autonomy and re-tasking topic for the swarms of UAVs.

November 2014 — Ph.D. Thesis, CORIA (UMR-6614), Université de Rouen (3 years)

Topological characterization of numerous chaotic attractors and definition of algebraical relations between their templates (algorithms and software implementation and topological characterization for attractors bounded by high genus tori).

2011 — End-of-studies internship, CORIA (UMR-6614), Université de Rouen (4 months)

Introduction to dynamical system theory and topological characterization.

2010 — Summer internship, IRSTEA (previously CEMAGREF) Grenoble (4 months)

Spatial information fusion: an application to natural risks in mountains; Dempster–Shafer and fuzzy logic theory

2010 — Project, INSA de Rouen, Rouen (3 months)

Detection of areas in grayscale images using biological inspiration of social spider species; a multi-agent system is implemented in C++

2009 — Project, AMMIS, Université de Rouen (3 months)

Dynamical study of enzymatic system of ordinary differential equations; search of parameter values producing an overshoot
