Following an engineering degree in modeling biological systems, a master degree in modeling complex systems and a PhD in statistics, my research focuses on modeling human and biological systems: culture, languages, societies, demography, genetics.

After 9 years in Academia I am now modelling system biology for a biomedical company.
