What do I do ?

I work as an assistant professor at University of Rennes 1 (IFSIC).

I am a member of the CAIRN research group at IRISA/INRIA and also part of LRS an INRIA équipe associée involving CAIRN and the Mélange group at https://www.cs.colostate.edu/.

For academic year 2009-2010, I am enjoying an INRIA délégation, which means I don't have courses and can do full-time research

Current research activities

Projet ANR BioWiic (Appel offre ARPEGE 2008).
